Yes. If you are on a campus network then this is normal and you can ignore it and let your firewall do it's job.

It's called "background noise" as MS clients try to contact the subnet master browser. For more info look into netbios over TCP name resolution.

I'm concerned about the SRC address, this looks like a home network - find out who has 192.168.0.4 and make sure your wireless is secure.

This is normal behavior of netbios over TCP name resolution. Completely normal provided it's coming from an address you know or one on your same subnet.

If not then you can be concerned.

Looks pretty normal to me, especially on a home network, but possible on a public network too if access point isolations isn't turned on.

I live on a mountan top ranch with a microwave link into town, 6 miles down the valley. There are 4 houses up here, were all family, all on the same network. There is a wireless network bridge that I an not technical enough to understand, but it connects to a router here next to my router and computer. I understand the bridge could be set up to directly connect to my router, or wifi cellphone but the family tech dosen't want anyone messing with his setup, so he has it it set up his way. I know better than to bother him with my mundane problems, and he recently broke up with his girlfriend and moved away, so things other than chainsaw repair, chicken vs coyote, soviet WWll rifles or dog stuff I don't bother him.

Thanks
