[olug] Varying port access from an internal XP box

Hi,

I flipped on Firestarter (Linux GUI firewall) and noticed the XP box on my network is trying to access some service on
my Linux box (the one w/Firestarter) about four times every minute.   With Firestarter it's being blocked now, but the
troubling thing is the port changes w/each request, and they're high non-standard ports in the 33,000-61,000 range.

Any ideas or should I begin suspecting a virus on the XP box?

Thanks,
Eric P.
