Hello, I have a problem:
Since a few days something is sending out IGMP packages to 224.0.0.1
and this is bad for several reasons. First, 224.0.0.1 is in the
private range of multicast addresses[1] (IIRC) so something must be
incorrectly configured. Second, I can't find the program responsible
for sending these packages. Too my best recollection, I haven't
installed anything new and this makes me a little nervous... ;) Third,
it prevents the pppd idle mode from taking the link down and around
here online time costs... :(
How do I go about finding the culprit? A search through config files
for both IP and FQDN turns up nothing.
Anyone have any takers?
BTW: IGMP is Internet Group Management Protocol according to
/etc/protocols.
[1] Weird thing is, the 224.0.0.1 address resolves to
ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET according to nslookup. Is that really correct?
/regards Anton
