OK. I did the suggested test. I changed resolv.conf back to its original state and rebooted. I've let the system run for 20 minutes and there has been no traffic to port 137 (there is a small Firestarter icon that flashes red when an "event" happens. With the port 137 traffic, this had been flashing red every 30 seconds.) When I first changed resolv.conf I also changed my modem/router to enable remote logging. But when I saw all of this new stuff being trapped by iptables, I changed went back and disabled remote logging. I confirmed this evening that the remote logging is still in its original disabled state. I know that both you and Chris feel this shouldn't be happening. I'm a networking novice. I'd *greatly* appreciate any additional suggestions you have as to how to debug this. > ____________________________________ > Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org > > http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug > Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium > > Dec 5 - Open Source Show and Tell > Jan 2 - TBD > Feb 6 - DBUS > Mar 5 - Setting up a platform-independent home/small office network using > Linux _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Dec 5 - Open Source Show and Tell Jan 2 - TBD Feb 6 - DBUS Mar 5 - Setting up a platform-independent home/small office network using Linux
