Note: none of the results are my ip thats the odd thing. I did a ip lookup and it said something like "internet asignment numbers" Why would my firewall pick these up if it isnt directed at my ip?

Re: Odd Port scan results

Have you run a full virus/ spyware/malware/ adware scan recently? Those look like internal IP addresses and not external.

Re: Odd Port scan results

Are these results from your PC firewall? If so what is your IP address (internal 169.xxx.xxx) the IP of the router and your brothers IP address. Also are either of you running any "strange" software? Might be best to reboot the PC and the router.

Re: Odd Port scan results

Yeah from my pcs firewall. My internal ip is 192.168.0.2 brothers is 192.168.0.4 and the routers is 192.168.0.1 (i think) i know for a fact that by brother was using torrents yesterday, i dont use them though. But this scan only happened when my brother came in from work before and switched his pc on, may be coincidence maybe not, but ive had my pc on all day and havent had anything similer during the day.

Re: Odd Port scan results

Are you using a wireless connection? Just wondering if you also have an unused ethernet port on your PC that is being allocated a 169 address (Windows would give it a 169 address if it couldn't get one anywhere else). UDP port 137 is NetBios and it looks like it's broadcast traffic (255.255), like the card saying 'I'm here, who wants to talk?'.

Basically check that there is not an ethernet port somewhere that is enabled but not in use. Worth a shot.....

Re: Odd Port scan results

Nope not running wireless, however i do have a switch connected to my router, could windows be asigning that the 169 addresses? it seems odd though that my firewall would be picking up those scans because none of the ip's listed are related to my pc.

Re: Odd Port scan results

What is connected to the switch?

Also, have you tried doing 'ipconfig /all' from a command prompt on each PC or laptop to check that a 169 address is not in use somewhere?

Re: Odd Port scan results

Got two pcs coneccted to the switch as there wasnt enough ports on the router. Just did that ipconfig thing for my computer and no mention of the i.ps noted in the log. However just looking at my firewall log, ive had two port scans blocked, but this time the destination i.p is correct, it shows my computer's i.p. Seems to be back to normal for now, i will have a look again later to see what happens when my brother comes home and switches his pc on, see if the anything similer happens.

Re: Odd Port scan results

the 169.x.x.x is an APIPA address...your computer will self assign one of these if it cannot get an address from a DHCP server...more about that here:
http://www.petri.co.il/what's_apipa.htm

as to where the addresses are coming from...dunno! I suspect that it will be from somewhere internal though so your plan to check your brothers PC will be the next logical step.

Re: Odd Port scan results

Thanks for the help. It could be that because my brother was messing about with the router and stuff that is happened. His internet wasnt working so he started moving cables about and stuff.

:o)

probably the best thing to do then if your not sure what he has done is to unplug everything and start again...that way you know that it is right and you are not wasting time trying to find out what has changed!
