For as long as I can remember, I have logs from 10.20.48.1 constantly making connections with me.

Even as we speak its constantly making connections with me, but when I run winipcfg, it informes me that DHCP server address is 10.185.16.134 so how is that address making a connection with me (if indeed it is) as my firewall tells me what connections I have currently. And how is that address connecting to me in the first place as I don't give that address permission to connect to me ?

We're migrating to new dhcp servers at the moment, thats why the address has changed.

The .1 ip is your default gateway, which the initial dhcp discover broadcast is routed through, the subsequent dhcp chatter is unicast so that'll be the .134 address.

You should be able to bin the rules for the .71 ip now

Hope that helpls
