i suppose it would've been a little more helpful for me to detail that,
sorry :( 192.0.1.7 is the firewall's IP, 192.0.1.11 is the XP machine. FYI,
I have two other winxp machines that are NOT showing up in the logs. eth0 is
my internal network, eth1 is the external.

thanks guys-

Subject: Re: [leaf-user] Windows XP attacking my firewall?


Matt:

        That's an interesting firewall log. Two quick questions
spring to mind:

1. The source-IP is 192.0.1.11, the dest is 192.0.1.7, but this
   is coming in on the eth0 interface of your firewall. So...
   how does your LEAF firewall connected to your WinXP box?
   I'm presuming that 192.0.1.11is the WinXP box, but I can't
   tell what LEAF's eth0 IP address is.

2. UDP port 1900 is Universal Plug&Pray (UPnP) not ssdp. The
   original releases of WinXP had a vulnerability with this
   service. But since the traffic is all local (192.0.1.x for
   both source and dest) I doubt it's an attack; it's probably
   just normal UPnP activity. Still, it'd help to know: which is
   your WinXP machine?
