hi
on of my mahcines is being probed by 206.47.150.189 exactly every 5 mins on
port 161. why would it? i have nothing to do with that ip address or the
people who run it.
also, what is interesting, is if you connect to http://206.47.150.189 it
appears to be some sort of a monitoring/information gathering tool. does
anyone know anything about this?

Its some misconfigured network monitoring device, get over it or call the
FBI and listen to them laugh at you.
