Hi all, i have a linksys wrt54g v2 which has port forwarding on 21 (ftp) and 80 (http). I have an ip camera on port 80. I'm not too worried about who accesses that but my main concern is with the ftp. I bought a landisk from maplin which is a case for an ide disk with built in http and ftp server. You create accounts with passwords which i've done. I hear it start up with unknown ip addresseses

Accessing it from the us or australia late in the evening. The drive makes constant short noises like someone is doing something to it. It goes on for ages and i usually switch it off. If i look up the inbound ip address on that port it doesn't usually give much info. Any ideas? Is this a hacking attempt? Can i block specific ips on a port? Should i be concerned? Cheers
