Are you seeing this on the source or destination? If it's on the source don't be thrown off by a red herring. The source machine will pick an available port from the ephemeral port range and sometimes this is a port that's registered to another service. Wag is registered on port 2608 for TCP and UDP so it falls in the ephemeral port range used by Windows.

According to the IANA (see http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers), this service was registered by Gilles Bourquard from wag.ch.

Unfortunately, I don't speak Czech, so the website really doesn't help me, but it looks as if (among other things) they do some sort of CAD -> manufacturing thing. Any automated computer-controlled machinery in your building?

ch is Switzerland and the web site is in German. They are a plastics manufacturer. Google translate is your friend. translate.google.com/… – Dennis Williamson Dec 8 '09 at 13:58
