Re: NTL to block port 135

Quote:
What do you mean by †œPort 135ââ‚Âà ‚¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚?
If you think of your Internet connection as a television set. You can watch channel 1 to browse the web, channel 3 to receive email, and channel 4 to chat to friends in chat rooms. Imagine when using channel 6, 99% of the time, all you see is white noise (static). This white noise also causes interference with the rest of your television viewing. By disabling channel 6, and moving the corresponding program to channel 8 the detrimental effect it has on the other channels is reduced.

Using this example, †œPort 135ââ‚Âà ‚¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ would be the equivalent of Channel 6 and the effects of the current †œWelchia and Blasterââ‚à ‚¬Ã‚ viruses, are the white-noise, or interference.
As spoken like true a professional


I like my explanation better seen as nearly everyone including NTL have copied my original advice as I wrote is years ago
