You need to learn to read the ISA logs.  The details of what each log field 
mean are listed in the ISA help and online at 
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;284818.

source-ip == blocked ip.  This means it came from your ISA
param#1 == protocol == UDP
param#2 == port == 137
UDP:137 is used for NetBIOS name resolution, which is attempted only when:
- simple names are passed for lookups
- DNS lookups fail
- the host is making a WINS lookup

Because this traffic is destined for a specific server, it's likely a WINS 
request.
The question I then pose to you is "why are you usoing an external WINS server?"


BTW, when you see similar traffic destined for ip.add.re.ss:UDP:137 and the 
destination IP is a broadcast IP, this is a NB broadcast.
These can be stopped by applying this regvalue:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\NetBT\Parameters\NodeType, DWORD == 0x2
..and reboot the ISA, you won't see these generated by the ISA itself any more.

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=160177 refers.
