It more looks like a mis-configured windows box trying to get WINS information from 
you.
Try phoning the owner to check. It might be someone taking a computer home from work 
with wrong set-up.
DNS for that IP gives:

Subject: Interpret Pix log


Hi,

I am new at reading the pix log and I know someone out there can help me
interpret these messages.  I started receiving hundreds of messages like
these today.  It seems like the address 167.160.241.245 is scanning through
the ports 16000 and higher trying to get to any address in the subnet
12.25.196.0 and 12.25.199.0 on port 137, which is NetBIOS Name Service port.
Does it mean someone is sniffing my network?  Thanks.
