Just now I got a popup on my XP Pro notebook from Norton Internet Security
saying "A Remote System is attempting to access your computer. Protocol:
UDP (Inbound). Remote Address: 0.0.0.0: bootpc (68).
Of course, I told NIS to block the access but I'm curious how it got this
far. I have home wifi network with router as gateway. How can I get
inbound from a remote system? Unless it is from something on my own network
but why would that be considered remote? Any clues?
