203.26.51.42 is fairfax.com.au.
Perhaps you were surfing a web site from that machine.

I have turned off  the sfportscan preprocessor as I was finding too many
false positives and no easy way to fine tune what the preprocessor
reported.

Subject: [Snort-users] My Machine as Source

Hi All,

just started using Snort/Base on a test machine, although, the machine 
is part of a LAN/Internet setup. I'm using it just to learn the basics 
etc. Anyway, I see my machine, 192.168.0.12 as the source address for 
(portscan) Open Port on addresses on the net, for example, 203.26.51.42 
<http://localhost/base-1.1/base_stat_ipaddr.php?ip=203.26.51.42&netmask3
2>. 
Why is that..? More so, what is it..? False alrms, perhaps.? A zombie, 
perhaps..? Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
