NBNS Name query NB UNDEFINED

0

Dear all,

On our office VLAN we see numerous (about 10 percent of all traffic on all switchports) NBNS "UNDEFINED" queries:

1052 23.531946 10.1.1.28 10.1.1.255 NBNS 92 Name query NB UNDEFINED<00>

We also see normal NBNS queries for hostnames, wpad, etc. However we are unable to find any explanation for the "UNDEFINED" queries. Please can someone shed some light on this?

Many thanks :)

Can you share a capture?

As a trace contains customer data, I prefer not to, but if you tell me what you're looking for (in the capture) I'll extract it or make a short trace. Thx!
