Port 26741?
My router logs are showing an AWFUL lot of inbound connection attempts to UDP port 26741 from various addresses. I can't find any info on any official assignment for that port number, and the router is doing its job and dropping the packets, but does anyone know of any program - or perhaps a worm going around - which uses that port?

I am also seeing several attempts for port 19474, but not as many as for 26741. Both of these numbers are within an unassigned range according to IANA's port list.

I have run a NETSTAT /A command, and I don't see any unexpected connections to strange addresses, so it doesn't appear that there's any outbound weirdness going on here - just dozens of refused inbound connection attempts to those port numbers. If it's supposed to be an attack, it isn't working.... <shrug; grin> Of course, it could be something as simple as a bunch of gamers or file-sharing clients looking for others of their kind, but I'm not running any of them.

Any info? Anything I should be worried about as long as my router is ignoring all of them?
