Re: TCP/IP Network +WIN95



You could try running tcpdump to see which packets are causing the
dialing.  If you can make all the machines idle, there shouldn't be too
much traffic.  I would guess the packets are from netbios ports on the
windows machine to the DNS port on you DNS server.  I had to block ports
137-139 for both TCP and UDP traffic on my router.  I think windows may
only use 137/tcp, 138/tcp and 139/udp, but I blocked all six of the
combinations to make sure.
