I am running Debian Sarge as a router. The box has eth0 connected to an
ADSL modem, and eth1 connected to a switch to which my home computers
are connected.

My internal home network is 192.168.x.x.

Network cards congif is:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
         address 10.0.0.1
         netmask 255.0.0.0
         network 10.0.0.0
         broadcast 10.0.0.255
#used 10.x.x.x just to have eth0 on different network than eth1

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
         address 192.168.0.2
         netmask 255.255.255.0
         network 192.168.0.0
         broadcast 192.168.0.255

I have a firewall setup. Among other things, it stops all packets
addressed to 192.168.x.x going to ppp0, my ADSL modem. Now, in the
/var/log/syslog file, I see the lines given below. If somebody could
explain what is going on, it would be great. It seems that packets
addressed to 10.x.x.x destined towards eth0 are being logged. But where
are these packets coming from? How do I find out what applications is
trying to send these packets?

Thanks,
->HS
PS: I am no expert in TCP/IP, though I have an overall understanding
what each line of my firewall does.
