Hello,
I have a 4 compter home LAN and noticed something interesting. I know a little about tcp-ip, but not much about broadcast addresses, subnets and stuff. Most of the time only two computers are on, a small web server and the family computer.

Anyway, whenever I connect to aim or a new website or whatever, it seems to broadcast something (according to the status leds.) I'm thinking it might be trying a dns lookup on the local server, but I never set that computer up as a dns server and I don't know why it would do that. The family computer dual boots linux and WinME and I think it does that with both.

Just curious to what that is. I don't think this was happening before, it just start recently, like 2 weeks maybe...
