ICMP Type 3 is destination unreachable.  No subtype given (odd).

broadcast to 255.255.255.255 is usually reserved for DHCP discovery,
but M$ makes broad (and incorrect) use of this broadcast address.

Yes, but is your system 166.70.4.82 or is that another of your ISPs
clients? I suspect it's just a Windoze system doing normal Windoze
stuff (violating every RFC on the planet to talk to other Windoze
systems and confuse the over 120+ other operating systems using the
Internet).
