Well, about a year ago whenever I was in CTRL-ALT-F? it started to spit out some text: scsi1: PCI error Interrupt at seqaddr = 0x8   scsi1: Data Parity Error Detected durring address or write data phase   scsi1: WARNING WARNING WARNING   scsi1: Too many PCI parity errors  observed as a target.   scsi1: Some device on this bus is generating bad parity.   scsi1: This is an error *observed by*, not *generated by* this controller.   scsi1: PCI parity checking has been disabled.   scsi1: WARNING WARNING WARNING And no one knew what the problem was. Well, today it spit out some new text: ABORTED IN=ppp0 MAC= SRC=*66.242.102.40* DST=67.219.70.165 LEN=40 TOS=0X00 PREC=0X00 TTL=116 ID=*58972* PROTO=TCP SPT=*110* DPT=*1170* SEQ=*678091395* ACK=*678091395* WINDOW=0 RES=0X00 RST URGP=0 (numbers between '*' changed) Wait- this looks network related. Could this mean that my modem card is bad? The destination is my IP address and I guess the source address is the ISP. I just ran IFCONFIG and here is the output: bmike1@0[bmike1]$ ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:50 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:50 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2980 (2.9 KiB) TX bytes:2980 (2.9 KiB) ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:67.219.70.165 P-t-P:67.219.0.40 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1846 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2286 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:447083 (436.6 KiB) TX bytes:152819 (149.2 KiB) bmike1@0[bmike1]$ Is there anyway to fix this? did some hackers get into my computer and screw things up?
