- Strange Network happenings
- Posted by Toja on June 20th, 2005
I have a small network of 2 computers, which are connected to a Siemens
Speedstream router, which is connected to a DSL modem.
Computer 1 is running limewire.
Computer 2 is mine.
When computer 1 is running limewire, my computer (2) gets tons of blocked
traffic on port 137. Why would it be doing this does anyone know about some
kind of hack with limewire that will attack other computers on the network?

137 is netbios name service. Probably computer 1 is asking for netbios
names.

I dont understand why is it sending these requests to my computer? I'm
getting hundreds of "occurences" all from computer 1 and only when Limewire
is running.
