Nobody told you that because masquerade doesn't do that.
I'd venture to guess that you've got some windoze box on your local
LAN, inside the "firewall" (masq box) that is infected with some
worm/virus, possibly BUGBEAR, possibly others. You ought to see
the number of hits my firewall gets from people trying to get IN
through it on port 137.... I get several dozen a day, all from
either script-kiddies, or innocents who are infected and don't
know it.
