For the last month someone has been attempting to access my computer three or four times daily. Here's what his IP is.
Remote Address-- 255.255.255.255.(UDP Port 68)from 10.96.176.1 Port 67
My CA firewall stops these attempts but they're annoying. Who do I complain to and how do I stop it? Thanks, Tom

Can't report that address since it's part of a private (ie. Not allowed to be sold to anyone) range of addresses:jpsdomain.org: NAT & Private IP Address Ranges (http://www.jpsdomain.org/networking/nat.html)

I'm assuming you have a home network based on the subnet mask (those 255 numbers). If your router default to using the 10.x.x.x IPS then what you are seeing is harmless pinging or keepalive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keepalive) "noise" from your home network.

That's nothing to worry about as this looks like perfectly normal traffic from your own ISP.


Port 67 is used for bootp or DHCP - two very similar protocols that are used to assign ip addresses dynamically.

Software firewalls frequently throw up results of this type.

This gives more information: UDP Ports 67 and 68 (http://www.linklogger.com/UDP67_68.htm)

Thanks for the speedy response guys, They're attempting to access my computer. Should I let them in? Tom
