Quoting Aaron Giuoco <agiuoco@yahoo.com>:


True.  But it is unusual to see so much traffic from 169.254 leaving  
 a computer that already has a network connection.

I haven't been able to confirm whether the packets are related to   
ActiveSync like Paul mentioned.  Thanks for the replies.  I'll try   
to confirm whether or not ActiveSync is being used on these PCs or   
not and post back.

I missed part of this post.  However, I see lots of 169 traffic from  
my apple 10.4, 10.5 computers.  I think they use it for bonjour or  
entourage, which is a way to find printers, and other network resources.
