Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Been trying to figure out what is causing ppp -auto to dial out. After getting the dns worked out(i think) I see in my ppp.log file that its my 95 box calling across via UDP from port 137 (specail to windows, read about it a while back...to do with Samba?) at any rate its goint to my ISP's main box on port 53. Now what lives there such that my win95 box would attempt to contact it? thanks.
