Are you on a network with a Windows box? If you have forwarding enabled and
the box uses a gateway to access the internet, it might be that the gateway
address is configured as the broadcast address (happens all the time where I
live, it's amazing what you see even on a switched network). This causes the
Windows machine's connection attempts to be visible by the whole network.
