Hi everyone:
I'm having some strange traffic show up on my PIX. Looking at the "show conn" I have many many machines attempting to make outbound UDP/138 connections to 192.168.x.x addresses. We don't have any 192.168.x.x addresses inside the company. This is blocked at our Internet router, so it's not going out, but still would like to know what this is.
138 is NETBIOS (an MS protocol). look for windows clients that have somehow gotten it in their head that they need to make a NETBIOS connection to the cited RFC1918 space. could this be a side effect of one of the current generation of viruses? richard -- Richard Welty rwelty@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking 518-573-7592 Java, PHP, PostgreSQL, Unix, Linux, IP Network Engineering, Security
