Afternoon all,

Sorry to make my first message a question but I am stumped on this.

I am getting the following packet while looking for a Netbios issue where
PC's are losing the ability to do name lookups.

No.    Time        Source                Destination           Protocol Info
1335 23.703679   10.1.xxx.xxx           10.1.255.255          NBNS     Name

The source IPAddress is x'd out because it's not coming from a single
address but many in the subnet.  The source address are machines (multiple
machines) on my network, most are PC's but a few are even switches.  I am on
a single segment of a fairly large (600 machines) switched (but flat
network - all same subnet) network.

I assume I have a virus someplace but not sure where to begin to find it.  A
few of the machines have been scanned, registry checked. processes checked
and  there is nothing unusual about them...

Any thoughts or ideas where to look next?

Thanks
