It means you're getting garbled packets from the peer. If it's persistent and doesn't correct itself over time, the most plausible reason (I think) would be that you're using MPPE (MS proprietary packet encryption) and there's a bug in that code. If it just happens intermittently and then fixes itself, I'd ignore it. The cause would be dropped or corrupted packets and recovery by the encryption code. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W
