Carl,
No - you'll get that. It's normally IIS servers trying to "look up" IP
addresses that connect to them. Are these real IP addresses that might be
computers running WWW browsers?
Cheers,

What I am seeing is inbound nbname connections to IP addresses all over my
CIDR block.
Not to addresses that would have ever been resolved by external DNS etc.
I would think this would indicate malicious intent.

Because Microsoft implements NETBIOS over TCP by default and most people
don't know effort to turn it off. Consequently you have all kinds of
systems trying to find out about the "Nework Neighborhood" they are attached
to.
