Please help with this strangeness

Hi Security-basics,


I was going through all my security logs today and I noticed something
a little odd, and wonderd if anyone could offer any insight? I am not
that good at detailed security!

I have a IPBlock assigned from my ISP, where 81.174.224.68 to
81.174.224.70.

As I understand it, 68 is a broadcast address, 69 is assigned to the
router, 70 is for a server, which I dont use at the present time.

Now, in my snort logs, which is connected to the outside of the
firewall I get the following logs..

Now, I thought of welchia or one of its many variants, and all
machines are clean, the DHCP records show only one machine on the
network connected mostly, thats my machine. It's clean.

What could be causing these broadcasts? Any one have any ideas?
