broadcasting my network ip isn't an issue, 192.168.x.x are reserved for private networks by one of those ip delegation peoples, i would imagine a bazillion or so people have the same one (ok, a bit of an exageration on the bazillion). plus, the default pass was already changed, and i cut everything out of the message that could be used to compromise my system
btw, i already have free avg, and ntoskernel.exe was the prog broadcasting from my pc and accepting info from 192.168.2.255
EDIT upon further research i found that the program broadcasting to 192.168.2.255 was ndisuio.sys, a driver used by the wireless configuration service built into xp. no idea why it was on, but i stopped it and haven't had anymore transmissions to the ip. thanks for the help
