Hi,
I've got a user running Blackice and he's getting about 15,000 probes
a day from one of our print servers. Everything that I've seen points to
someone maliciously running scans, but I don't think that this is the case
this time. Is there any reason in the Window's world that a server would
probe a workstation? I don't see anything in the event logs that corresponds
to the probe times and he doesn't use that print server. Here's a sample of
the Blackice log:

Time, Event, Intruder, Count

Nevermind, one of our super genuises figured out that there was once a print
queue that had the same IP as this user's PC. Someone apparently still has
that printer mapped and sent a print to it and never cancelled it.
