Are you running a firewall? If so, how are you configuring the the
firewall? If you were using "shorewall" you'd look in
/usr/share/shorewall and check the "bogons" file. In earlier versions
of shorewall the file may be located in /etc/shorewall.
So, it depends on the firewall configuration software you are using as
to what/where the file is that needs checking.

has some nice documentation on bogons....
