I'm "playing" with Wireshark on my home network, partly to resolve what might be broken in all our pieces.
Is anyone aware of the difference between UDP and TCP/IP and willing to answer newbie questions like, "it seems my network router is making a port mapping request to my laptop and my laptop is logging that the destination port is unreachable. Is this because our wireless access point is dying or what?"
ETA: Oh wait, it's the laptop that wants to do this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT_Port_Mapping_Protocol
So, it's some happy apple thing that my Linksys Router is saying no to. That's OK.
There *will* be more questions....
