The problem turned out to be some services running on my
machine that were broadcasting tcp/ip messages out over
the ax0 interface.?
Ah yes... Samba, Avahi (netconf / Bonjour), and other daemons that
do broadcasts need to be updated to only INCLUDE configured
interfaces and not bind to "all" interfaces.? Was your problem
daemon one of these two or something new?
The solution turned out to be to disable those services I
could do without, and to blocking the rest with a packet
filter.
So now all works as expected with both DW and SM, however
in axlisten the remaining broadcast packets still show up
even though they have been blocked from being modulated
and sent out through the sound card for tranmission.
I don't exactly know where axlisten gets it's data feed within the
overall networking stack but it sounds like you think that AXLISTEN
is seeing your chatty packets before they get filtered and are
ultimately NOT transmitted?? To be honest, I kind of doubt it and I
bet the packets are still being transmitted.? As I touched on above,
I recommend you either disable these services that you might not
need (I don't need Avahi) and for the services you DO need,
re-configure them to only bind to your needed interfaces.? Don't use
their defaults to bind to ALL interfaces.?
For example.. if you're using Samba, you want to configure the
"interfaces" line to *only* bind to the network of your internal
LAN:
