No, I'm not using tunneling. I don't use a VPN.

I followed a suggestion from PorkChop to restore my original resolv.conf
and see what happens. I restored resolv.conf to its original value and
rebooted. The UDP traffic to port 137 has stopped.

As I mentioned to PorkChop, I'm a novice at networking. I'd *greatly*
appreciate any additional suggestions you might have as to how to debug
this.
