Strange IP's problem stopping the network ...

can anyone tell me what does this mean :

also the same above with ip 255.255.255.255 , and another massage like :
dhcp discovery … 255.255.255.255
that leads to stop the network , stopping winbox connect by ip .
i dropped broadcast trafic in filter and it reads alot of bytes but it doesnt stop the problem ..please i need help ..

???
is it clear or ??

Looks like you have a DHCP server configured on your public interface, try disabling it. There is no situation I can think of that would need DHCP on the public interface.

in the public interface ? how did you know ? i dont think so , look at the host name its local one ..

My mistake I thought 0.0.0.0 was coming from the default route.

I’ve initiated a DHCP connection on my v3Beta10 box with “dhcp debug packet” turned on and I get the same as in your listing, so this looks like it’s just a normal DHCP conversation.

I’d guess you’re getting some kind of Broadcast storm from a misconfigured client or virus infected PC.

Ok , so is blocking broadcast traffic is enough to stop this storm ? i blocked it already !!!
