Strange netstat output

Hi folks,

Recently I took notice about a strange netstat output within my LAN:

The ipt.aol.com is the one that's the problem. If I ping it, it returns this:


PING ACA80102.ipt.aol.com (172.168.1.2): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 172.168.1.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.120 ms

Which is my internal IP adress. If I ping ACA80104, it goes to 172.168.1.4. If
I ping ACA80100, it says 172.168.1.100 and ACA801FF is the 172.168.1.255
address (the broadcast address, if I recall my Cisco classes correctly). 

The 192.168.1.105 address is rather strange as well, because I'm not using
that range on the router's DHCP server (Netgear FVS318, in case you want to know)

So my question is, what are these? My firewall log (on the router) is showing
some major blocking on port 445 and 135. It's not like one IP address is doing
all the bad stuff; most of them are just random grabs from virus infected
machines.

Thanks in advance,

Jorn
