What are the 'strange unknown IP address spaces' that the packets are going to?
J
The [System] process (PID 4 on this Windows XP Pro Box) is making strange outbound connections to unknown IP address spaces on one of our machines. It tries to connect to port 139 and 445. Is there any way to figure out what is causing the system process to do this? The connections do not seem to be successful. The Packet trace shows the outbound SYS and then nothing. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
