Okay, This is sort of a two part question:

1. A while ago, my Win2k server here at the office had its floppy drive
crank up (like when you try and access the drive with no disk in it). There
was nothing running that would have needed the floppy drive. Anyways, just
because I was curious I ran netstat and saw a bung of connections from
prisoner.iana.org that I have never seen before. I did a search on Google
and found only a few references to the address, most dealing with potential
hackers using a spoofed ip (none of the people making the posts seemed very
knowledgable and they contained very little info). Anyone ever seen any
abuse by this address, have any idea why it would connect to my server, or
why the disk drive cranked up? (If I am just crazy, thinking that the
prisoner.iana.org thing and the disk drive have anything to do with each
other please feel free to smack me)...

2. I am running a SMC Barricade broadband router... does anyone know of any
vulinabilities that would allow an attacker to port scan through the routers
firewall to the internal network? (possibly firewalk?) I can't seem to find
any specific info for the SMC and the problem still exists (or so says
snort) after upgrading the firmware.

Thanks in advance for the help guys,
