Hello Group:
I have Linksys BEFSR41, single computer, cable, software firewall,
win2K. My firewall is frequently blocking outgoing udp packet:

source IP: 192.168.1.100 (my Linksys address)
destination IP: 192.168.1.255 (IANA, blackhole)

It does it every second when it's doing it....once on port 138, then
three times on port 137, then recycles.

I've spent a lot of time reading the posts here and going over the
Linksys manual. I suspect I have a router configuration problem, but
can't prove it or fix it. I have posted this request before and
appreciate the previous answers. Any new suggestions greatly
appreciated.

Jack
