I found 2 other rules which seem to cause dialing out.
There are rules for netbios-ns:
# Do the same for netbios-ns broadcasts
# NOTE: your /etc/services file may not define the netbios-ns service
# in which case you should comment out the next three lines.
ignore udp udp.source=udp.netbios-ns,udp.dest=udp.netbios-ns
#jys change to ignore netbios-ns to see if it stops dialing out
#accept udp 30 udp.dest=udp.netbios-ns
#accept udp 30 udp.source=udp.netbios-ns
ignore udp udp.dest=udp.netbios-ns
ignore udp udp.source=udp.netbios-ns
The standard.filter rules accept packets where the destination or source is
udp.netbios-ns, as long as both are not (the first ignore). I changed the
two accepts to ignore and I have a lot less dialing out when the network is
idle.
