The 13223 sounds familar, but it definitely isn't NetBIOS.
The ident access should be allowed, since blocking it can cause problems,
but it's sometimes interesting to see who's using it. SMTP servers use it
to include better info in the headers. FTP servers use it quite often.
HTTP servers don't use it that often, since they have so many better ways
of spying on you. :-)
