I use Ethereal on my Linux routers.  At one location, we are flooded, from several users, with microsoft-ds [SYN] frames going to numerous ipaddresses outside our systems.  Most of the outside addresses are black holes (192.168.128.214, etc).

I think it is part of the Fizzer Worm Virus associated with AOL IM and IRC, but am not sure.

Can anyone shed light on what this microsoft-ds [SYN] is and where I can go to find more information?

Thanks,
Bruce Harrison
