I don't know that it's that off-topic. I don't use Microsoft, but people bombard me with packets on port 445. Of course, the way to find this out is: $ grep 445 /etc/services microsoft-ds 445/tcp microsoft-ds 445/udp $ On Monday, 11 December 2006 at 12:13:50 -0800, Garrett Cooper wrote: > > Next time, please google.

You can find lots of things on Google, including false leads and (especially) other people asking the same question. Many of them (hopefully not the false leads) refer to messages that have gone by on this list. Come back tomorrow and you'll probably find this exchange there.
