If it is only trying to access port 445 then it is probably not a port scanner.
port 445 is the port used for CIFS i.e. windows file sharing.
It could just be that you happen to have a windows laptop or something connected to your network and it tries to connect to its domain controller or a network share and your ISP is blocking CIFS traffic.
I.e. you brought your laptop home from the office and connected it to your home network?

Hi
To stop the problem, you can deny the icmp echo request on your firewall.
Its not a good thing to lets user make icmp echo reply (ping) outdoor of
your network. Creat a rule on your firewall to deny it, you can add some
exception on this rule to lets administrator to ping outdoor.
Sorry i can give you some advise with ethereal.
You can also check for a Snort (Intrusion Detection System)

Hello all,
I am very new to protocol analyzing and packet sniffing. I usually just
support pc, but an now supporting our network. I've been contacted my
company's ISP and they say some machine behind my router is scanning their
network. I have made sure all my PC's are patched, and have up to day anti
virus software ( McAfee) as well as anti spyware software (Windows
Defender), but I am still having this issue.
How can I use this software to find the culprit? What am I suppose to look
for? Sorry for being such a newbie...
Thanks in advance!
Jason
