UDP Port 137 Question

Gurus,

I have couple of servers that are constantly trying to go outbound on UDP Port 137 (Nbname). The event is occurring 4-5 times per second. All outbound traffic is being dropped by my firewall. However, I am just trying to find out what is the reason -

I have AV on the server with latest definition - I have ran manual AV Scan - I have ran Welchia / Nimda / etc removal tool - I have ran Spyware removal tool - All of them comes up clean. The outbound address are for example: 156.67.52.182 to 156.67.52.204 --- 9.108.180.138-154 -- 145.46.77.202-241 - There are more of these network ranges ( I have already done whois on all these IP range)

Oh yeah - the servers are Win2k with SP3 or Win2k with SP4 with latest HF.

Please help me to isolate what I am facing? This should not be a normal Traffic Pattern, since only couple of my servers are producing this traffic

TIA
