So I set up a rule in PeerBlock to observe certain things.<\/p>\n

I blocked all the local IP numbers on my network (ranging from 10.0.0.2 – 10.0.0.255, except for 10.0.0.26 which is this computer’s IP number, and 10.0.0.1, which is the router’s IP number). So PeerBlock blocks 2 unknown IP numbers (10.0.0.3 & 10.0.0.7) attempting to connect using port 137. Sometimes it’s only once every moment, and sometimes 4 to 5 times within a few seconds or so.<\/p>\n

I went to the router’s settings (at\u00a0http:\/\/10.0.0.1),<\/a>\u00a0yet those two IP numbers are Not listed in the devices that are connected to the router.<\/p>\n

So what are these devices and why do they keep attempting to connect to this computer?<\/p>\n

Thank you for reading\/helping me with this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":0},"question-category":[56],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-9600","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-security"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/9600","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=9600"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=9600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
