Now here's an odd firewall entry...
I picked up a couple of these the other day...

Code:
Time     Chain Dev  Proto Source           Src Port         Destination      Dst Port
12:12:02 input eth0 UDP   169.254.158.219  137(NETBIOS-NS)  169.254.255.255  137(NETBIOS-NS)
And I was wondering - how have I (on NTL in the UK) recieved packets broadcast to that IP range?
I can't understand how I can receive a packet which isn't even addressed for the same IP range as me...

router glitch? Or NTL uses hubs in your vicinity?

MT is an unknown quantity at this point
169.254.158.219

MS Windows machines that dont receive an IP from a DHCP server, yet are set up to obtain IP address automatically, use 169.254.0.0 range.

unrelated but some cheeky bugger actually managed to send spam via the windows messenging service directly to my IP address, still trying to figure that one out.

Do you have a firewall blocking net send broadcasts. If not, turn off the messenger service. I was plagued by these myself. It is a flaw with the service but unless you actually want to be notified that "Person X has printed to Printer Y" I dont see the point of having the service running.

It is fairly easy to script a net send broadcast to every machine that faces the interweb.

Megla - it is indeed what MT said, but it might be a machine on the NTL network somewhere - looks like its just doing an ICMP echo request or something equally as harmless.

Yep - with what MT said in conjunction with similar replies from a mailing list I also asked, it seems that a machine on my internal network was messing about.
Was probably an artifact from when I was trying to get those wireless cards to work.

Oh well, that's that solved.
