12/27/2000 11:56:19.192 -      UDP packet dropped -

28800, LAN -    -      
1. Can someone help me analyze this?

Ports 6667 and 28800-28900 (TCP and UDP) are used by
MSN Gaming Zone servers and clients.  Someone's probably
looking for a rousing game of "Age of Empires" or something.

See

As for ports info, I and several others maintain databases as
well as we can, but things develop so rapidly that often it's just
faster to go to your favorite search engine and search on
"port" and "28800."

Cheers,
