bootps ports are opened under system process

[Guest pamarths]

I observed that, system process is listening on bootps port and answering PXE

requests though I didn't had any PXE server components installed. It is a

windows XP machine. I scanned with AV and few anti-spyware tools but no

infections has been reported. I searched in internet for similar behaviors

but no luck.

 

Could you people will be able to comment what might went wrong here. I am

final goal is to identify the cause.

 

Please let me know if you need any details.

Download the GUI based TCPView utility.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb897437.aspx

 

This will allow you to see what program is opening what TCP or UDP port as it happens.

 

When it does, extract the information of what program is opening port 67 (or 68) and

identify if it is openeing the port or communicating to another system through that port.

 

Provide that information in your reply.
