One of our servers is generating unkown UDP traffic that floods our network rendering it unuseable. The problem seems to be getting progressively worse. At first, we thought the a new switch (which we took off-line) was just locking up. This is how we discovered that powering off our main switch (the one all of our servers are connected to) resolves the problem for a while

When the problem continued to surface, we installed Ethereal to analyze the network's traffic. We discovered that when the problem would occur, one of our servers was sending UDP packets to a certain client. So we disabled the integrated network card on the server and installed another NIC

The problem surfaced again a day or two later, and Ethereal revealed that the SAME server was again flooding the network with UDP packets to a DIFFERENT client. But this time when we cycled the power on the switch, the problem returned only a few minutes later

Not only does the client (source address) change with each occurance, but the destination AND source ports seem to change with each instance

The last time this occured, we disconnected the server from the network and sure enough the problem stoped. We then ran an anti-virus check (all systems go), rebooted the server, and have reconnected it to the network (since we do need it)

Server System Info
Windows Server 200
- Domain Controller (No FSMO Roles
- Global Catalo
- DN
- WIN
- DHC
Exchange Server 200

Ethereal Output

- Each group is a single instance of the problem. Durring each instance, there are hundreds of each of these packets when the problem occurs
