Also note that right now there is a worm going around causing the infected computer to ping all the other computers in its ip range. I've gotten so many lately I have stopped logging them as they were filling my logs, and there is nothing I can do about it.

I've been pinged on average.......15 times a minute for about four days now. I just shut off the logging client also.
