[Firestarter-user] "martian source" error

[<per...@ya...>]

Hi,

I'm new to firestarter and seem to be having a
problem.

I have a redhat 8 linux machine (with eth0 & eth1), a
windows XP machine and a cable modem. 

I connected them together as the NAT manual page
suggest. However, I could only ping from the XP PC to
eth1. I coulnt ping the internet or the XP PC from the
linux machine.

I discovered that I didnt have eth0 set to DHCP so i
fixed that and rebooted (so my cable modem could get
the mac address etc etc).

I then started getting the martian error along the
lines of:

MARTIAN SOURCE 80.0.189.2 on dev eth0 11 Header
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:04:96:ee:24:70:08:06

This happened about 20 times at least and then tried
to start GNOME. After signing in, I got an error
saying:

"Could not look up internet address for [cable box
name]"


Does anyone know what this means ? I new to Linux and
Firestarter and completely lost to be honest.

Thanks,
Nathan
