[UPDATE] ping floods

All, What we have here at the moment is the following: 1) IntraNet machines are pinging to random IP addresses (both targetting our IntraNet and outside) 2) From time to time, when a particular machine is pinging from a subnet, it appears some new machines on that subnet are starting to ping too. 3) these pings, grouped together, creates flooding (even if singlely they seems to be ping with a 1/3s TTL delay) impacting the whole IntraNet. 4) Checking a machine part of this ping "flood", we found nothing suspicious (no unknown program, ...) but we dont master Windows technology. The box was antivirused with a well-known vendor solution, up-to-date in its virus definitions. Our assumptions is this might be a brand new worm, not yet known to antivirus companies (no news/alerts on their sites). To solve, we applied on our routers routing the ICMP requests an access-list to bar these requests. This globally solved the problem until we can be able to solve each machine.
