What is running on the machine these logs came from?  Web, DNS, FTP?

Microsoft boxes attempt to connect via NetBIOS or do WINS lookups on servers
they are trying to use services on.  A windows box will try to connect on
port 137 if it is trying to access your web server.  I dump all that traffic
at my border router.

It is not a WWW server.
It appears to have ports 22 and 80 firewalled.
