I don't know a lot about networking (which is why I'm asking here)
but UDP port 53 is for DNS related queries.  It seems that a DNS
server (196.21.79.50) is responding to a request from 192.168.0.4
with a bad packet.  But the address 192.168.0.4 does not exist
on my network.  The only machine that is connected is 192.168.0.2,
which is my Linux machine.  (My Windows box is shut off and when
connected has a different address.)

IOW, if my machine is sending DNS queries (and using pdnsd it is
sending them) then the address for any responses from a DNS server
should be 192.168.0.2.  Where us this 192.168.0.4 coming from?
