.255 would be the local subnet broadcast address (ie 192.168.1.1 to 
192.168.2.254), which would be expected for a CIFS packet 
(sport/dport=137). Not too sure why the shorewall system is even 
touching this - local should stay local!

As for the Knoppix I mentioned, it's a (near)complete KDE system on a 
bootable CD. So long as you have >=64MB RAM, you don't even touch the 
hard disk (unless you want to!) If I have time tomorrow, I'll drop one 
off for you - the same offer is open to anyone else fairly local (too 
many CDRs cluttering the place!)
