Sorry to bother you all, but I don't understand something I'm seeing on
weblet.

On a Dachstien standard floppy distribution, the Weblet's conection page is
showing an IP masq entry for:

Udp     4:55.63         192.168.1.1     192.168.231.255 138 -> 138 (61000)

I've looked up Port 138 and I can see it's NETBIOS Datagram, but I don't
understand why there is a connection on the firewall as I thought all
192.168.x.x addresses were non-routing ? So why does the firewall seem to
have allowed it to establish a connection ?

Also, I could understand if I was seeing 192.168.1.255 as a local broadcast,
but why .231.255 ?

Any idea's or enlightenment would put my mind at rest.

Many thanks to all.

John Whileman
