I am getting the following denial in my IPFW log: Aug 26 08:53:51 gateway /kernel: ipfw: 3200 Deny UDP 207.195.152.19:137 208.149.231.82:137 in via xl1 xl1 is my outside net 208.149.231.82 is my address of xl1 Rule 3200 is "deny log udp from any to any" which is my final rule. I have a Windows NT Server inside my network, running NETbeui protocols. I appear to be getting these requests from outside. What uses port 137? Nobody on the network seems to be complaining that they can't do stuff, so I am inclined to let it go, and keep denying the packets. Is there a reason I should be letting these packets through? Does anybody hava any thoughts on this? Thanks Dave Aas dave@ciminot.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
