I have just very reluctantly re-installed ZA on my machine after a
couple of bits of nasty shit found their way onto my machine.

I keep getting alerts saying that my machine tried to reach 0.0.12.0
Port 137. Anyone know what this could be?

Cheers

Paul BJ

My Hardware router/firewall has reported recent probing attempts from
the same address...none have succeded...If they did, they would run
into the software backup firewall....getting really bad out there!

Network 0.0.0.0/8 is reserved by IANA (the address 0.0.0.0 means 'I do
not know my own address' when used by a DHCP or BOOTP client to find the
boot server, while a _network_ address of 0.0.0.0/0 is the 'default' or
'all networks') and is blocked by any sanely configured router. This
means it can't be going out onto the Internet. It's also highly unlikely
to be passed along to your ISP.

My _guess_ would be that you've 'fumble-fingered' a configuration somewhere,
but there is not enough information to say where.
