Personal pet peeve - as far as I can tell, the Windows ICF firewall will log
everything it rejects.  We had some boxes that were logging literally thousands
of broadcast packets for 137/138/631 a day.  Kind of limits the usefulness,
if you can't find the *interesting* packets you've rejected...

(If anybody knows differently, please tell me the magic incantation..  I'm not
a Windows guy, I just get tossed firewall logs from Windows boxes.. ;)
