Firewall Blocking Traffic from 255.255.255.255?
Hi,
I'm new here, and I don't really understand alot about firewall activity, so I was hoping someone might be able to help me with this. I keep getting bombarded with the following message:
McAfee Firewall automatically blocked incoming traffic from IP address 255.255.255.255. You have configured McAfee Firewall to always block traffic to or from this address. The IP protocol type was 17 [UDP]. The remote address associated with the traffic was 10.40.224.1. The network adapter for the traffic was "Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection".
I'm not sure how long my firewall has been blocking the attempts, but I just got cable two weeks ago, and I've been checking the activity logs alot more since then. I'm starting to get pretty worried, because today alone, there have been 422 entries like that in the last 8 1/2 hours. Also, I never configured my firewall to block traffic from that address, although the message says I did.
Could somebody tell me what's happening, and if there's anything I can do to stop it? I'd really appreciate any info you can provide!
