Basically, "martians" are "packets with source addresses with no known
route"
You can receive all sorts of garbage from the cable network. Your modem just passes through whatever Ethernet packets destined to broadcast address are passing in the cable at the moment. Apparently, while your NIC got an addy in the 192.168.x.x range, some other custoemers' NICs got an address in the 172.x.x.x range, and you share the same downstream line.
Then again, you should have a route to whatever address thru the cable company's default gateway. Do you have a default route configured for the Ethernet interface (should be configured as part of the DHCP discovery)? Or did you create a static route to your ISP's PPTP server?
