1 My network's firewall is rejecting a bunch of attempts by my laptop to
2 reach 192.168.x.x systems which don't exist. The requests are from
3 and to very high port numbers. This must have to do with the p2p
4 software I'm running (transmission), but I thought it was pretty
5 creepy. Is that sort of thing expected from p2p software?
