Hi Costa, thanks for the reply!  I'm checking from work.  Pinging my
home machine.  The ip address is the address of my dsl modem, which is
set to use static NAT and forward everything to my ethernet address.

I don't see anything about the pings in ulogd.syslogemu so perhaps you
are correct.  Could my dsl modem be responding to the pings?
