Failure Audits 529 & 680: How to track the IP address?

*** I'm not quite sure in what NS this post fits best, so I set a
followup-to: microsoft.public.security ***

I get quite a lot of 529 and 680 Failure Audits in the Security Log of the
Event Viewer. Some folks try (probably mistakenly, hopefully) to get into my
computer (yes, it's not behind a fw at the moment). So I want to track down
those Failure Audits with IP addresses of the hosts that cause them.

Does anybody know a (maybe freeware) solution to achieve something like
that? (Note: I'm talking about future events, it's clear that past ones
cannot be resolvet to IPs anymore.)

As always, any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers, Juerg
 
Nothing to worry about. I get Event ID 529 & 680 all the time.

[[The event occurred on Windows XP if the machine environment meets the
following criteria:
- The machine is a member of a domain.
- The machine is using a machine local account.
- Logon failure auditing is enabled.
When the user logs off, Windows will write event ID 529 to the log file
because the OS incorrectly tries to contact the domain controller (DC),
despite the fact that the machine is using a local account. Microsoft
currently doesn't provide a fix for this problem, but you can safely ignore
this event ID.]]

Wesley,

Thanks for your answer. However, I get Failure Audits from users out in the
Internet who try to get into my machine. Tons of. That's why I want to track
IP addresses.

Turn on a Firewall or unplug the modem! You're just asking for trouble.
