What To Do - Port 5678?

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I have a router setup for a LAN but only connecting to one PC at the moment (my sandbox).
Is this the reason my PC wants to continually connect to 192.168.0.255 on port 5678>>

Similarly the PC has many port 137 hits to .255 which are very much abated if I disable netbios over TCP on the adapter card.

Just wondering if that is normal when the router is expecting a large network and only one pC is connected… I mean why .255??

Should I turn mikrotik discovery protocol off, and if so how?

192.168.0.255 is the broadcast address of network 192.168.0.0/24…
Disabling neighbor discovery is easy: on newer than 6.41 ROS go to IP->Neighbors, click “Discovery Settings” and select “none” from the dropdown box.
