Excerpt from KB Article Q154460: A malicious attack may be mounted against Windows NT computers with the Simple TCP/IP Services installed. The attack consists of a flood of UDP datagrams sent to the subnet broadcast address with the destination port set to 19 and a spoofed source IP address. The Windows NT computers running Simple TCP/IP services respond to each broadcast, creating a flood of UDP datagrams. The fix, and the full KB article can be found at; ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/usa/nt40/hotfixe s-postSP3/simptcp-fix Cheers, Russ R.C.
