This is a known problem.  What we do is log every packet that gets thrown
at the pseudo adapter that isn't destined for it.  We thought that would
be a small amount, but it appears that frequently when doing NetBEUI over
the tunnel, the operating system sprays all of the adapters and we get lots
and lots of packets that aren't intended for us.

Best bet is to set your event log to overwrite older events.  If you're really
daring, you can set a dword in the registry for FilterMode in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DECPS3xn\Parameters

setting it to a value of 2 should stop these messages, but it might break
file and print services.

Make sure you set it in the right place, the DECPS3x entry with a number after
it, or you might get some surprises.
