I know Windows is a Pain, but I cant help I run a public place and all my workstations are Windows Clients, I have read on the forums that these spooefed packets are a result of some Blaster type virus on these clients...but all my windows machines are updated with the latest patches and also I have a poerful virus sacnner!! But still these problems...
Help will be really apprecaited

Do you have NetBIOS installed on the Windows clients? Filter the NetBIOS
packets in your firewall or remove it from the clients if you don't need
it.
