Your assumption is correct.  Sorry for not making that clear.  Good catch.

So then it's not an ERROR, but a notification.  GOOD!

Unfortunately, I can't make EVERY system on the local subnet a 'client',
which is why I have the routing setup like it is.  I'll just run with this
and ignore all Microsoft patches. ...uh... I mean ping errors.
