Getting "probed" by NTL customers..... - Page 2

Mynetwatchman sends it off, and the team checks to see if its traffic or not. One on NTL did it 24 times, that can't be traffic can it?

I have these all of the time, just let your firewall deal with it.

I think I might just get a hardware fire wall, or a router.

Well, I just checked the status of the "possible" attacks iv'e had, and mynetwatchman has reported them to those people's ISP's, but NTL hasn't responded to the NTL attacks yet. About 5 ISP's has responded.

That myNetWatchman is such a good system.

EDIT: Here is the link to the person on NTL HTTP port probing me, AND other people: http://www.mynetwatchman.com/LID.asp?IID=96504731

He's right too

I'm a hypocrypt though. I have a windows firewall :o

Mind you, I'm a nosey bugger and will have my bsd box back logging router snmp data some time soon. The windows firewall can go then

EDIT:

Just thought, what about all those programs phoning home

How do you stop them without a windows firewall or a router that does not block outgoing data
