All evening my firewall has been constantly repelling attempts to get at my poor Mac ... from when I switched on at about 7.45 until I restarted it just now. My internet has been uselessly slow.

I don't know too much about these things but I had a suspicion that if I rebooted and acquired myself a new IP address the problem might go away. So far, it seems to have worked.

Strange thing is, virtually all the attempts came from within the ntl network, if I'm reading my access log right (it's attached). Anyone have a clue what this is all about?
