Doesn't look very odd to me, it's a very specific, rotating sequence.. 204.152.43.107 130.244.175.141 202.139.21.27 202.232.175.9 Then back to .107,.141,.27,.9 ad nauseum..
Something on your laptop is trying to a. call home, b. find the best way home, c. who knows.. Kill processes until it goes away and then go.. aha!

I have seen people writing in now and again with things like this and I never thought I would be one of them. But here goes. After doing a netgear firewall upgrade which suplpied some extra information, I started noticing these odd pings to all over the place from a computer I have. I don't notce any attempted return traffic from the same Ip's. So I am at a loss as to what this could be or why. Any thoughts would be appreciated. - Destination:204.152.43.107,[Type:8],WAN [Forward] - [Outbound Default rule match] Mon, 2005-10-17 01:10:27 - ICMP packet - Source:192.168.1.3,[Echo Request],LAN -

Destination:151.164.240.134,[Type:8],WAN [Forward] - [Outbound Default rule match] Its a dell computer supplied to me by my employer that I use for 2 purposes. I installed firefox for keeping an eye on our MRTG graphs and to use SKYPE as required by them. Except for a Java developers toolkit that I had to install to help with development testing once, (which I uninstalled) and the myriad of crap software that came free with the computer, that is all that has ever been installed that I am aware of. I did recently, becouse of this, install startup cop to see what might be starting up on bootups. (at least non services wize) I uninstalled a few other items that I knew I would never used and disabled those that looked odd. But still.. the pings go out about once or twice a day. I have not had a chance to turn off skype to see if that is what is doing it. But it is in no way connected to talking via skype. But why on earth would skpe send out these random pings all over the globe? Thanks! Nicole
