Hello all,
 I have a machine that is sending out empty data packets destined to random ip addresses with a destination port of 
137 and 139.  All the IP Addresses seem to be a military and NOC location.  I have attached some of the IP's below.  
I have ran antivirus, anti-spyware and rootkit detectors (sysinternals, and f-prot) all came up empty.  I had found 
one other person on the internet that seemed to have this problem, but no resolution. Any ideas?

Find when the traffic started and try to correlate suspicious log
entries and file timestamps to the start of the traffic.

Also try netstat -avonb (the -b being the important one) if this is an
XP box, and look for suspicious bindings to the above mentioned ports.

Also, take the HDD of the offending PC and hook it up as a slave
device to another winbox, this is the only for-sure method of finding
a rootkit
