Port Scan(?)

The incidents@securityfocus.com owner rejected this
post so can anyone here make sense of this?

On my 10.1.2.0/24 network, I discovered (with
Ethereal) that one of my hosts (10.1.2.112) was
broadcasting UDP packets to 255.255.255.255 to port
62516.
The *source port* though was incrementing by one after
every packet. That host machine is running Windows
2000.

Anyone know what kind of activity this is? It seems
the opposite of a port scan and it is inside my
private network. I know which machine it is, I just
can't figure out what it was doing so I disconnected
it from the network until I figure it out.

Thanks,

AH
