Hi all,

When checking port activity using TCPView I notice that I have a
listener on ports 137,138 and 139.
The Local Address seems to be from a Class B network, 169.254.0.0
which I trace to something called=20

BLACKHOLE-1.IANA.ORG

using SmartWhois.

The funny thing is that the LISTENING entries are visible in TCPView
even before I connect to my ADSL provider.

Anybody has an idea about what this can be.

BTW, I am running Norton Internet Security 2001 with updatet virus
definitions.

Thanks in advance,
Rune
