    Sounds like a typical udp port 137 broadcast getting sent to the outside.
    Snort should give the initial packet that is causing the unreach.
    I see the same thing with dial up users who cant find a wins box.

    I'm getting ICMP Destination Unreachable alerts in SNORT from a dial
    up user.  It seems the original destination IP is to x.x.255.255
    (x.x. being the first two octets of our range).  The router is
    filtering these packets (hence why I get the ICMP destination
    unreachable).  My question is, is this a misconfigured box? If so,
    what is misconfigured?  Is this a compromised box?
    
    Any ideas? Do you need additional information?
    
    Thank You,
