Zone Alarm has been blocking 73.165.128.151 to port 2268 TCP Flags SYN all of two weeks now. I haven't looked it up yet, I was about to and saw this thread.

I had Linksys hooked up but due to some computer diagnostic's it isn't right now. I ended up having to re-format the hard drive.

Guess I should hook it back up post haste?

Peace,

Yeah keep the linksys on at all times. I had only 1 computer and I had a NAT box. I dont ever update my machine unless I need to. I havent updated ANY of my computers to patch the worm because I am behind NAT. The firewall is good encase it somehow makes it onto your network, you will see it trying to download the meat and potatoes to your computer. The msblast.exe alone doesnt harm your machine (or so others say), only when it can get out onto the web and start reaking havok on your connection. NATs really cant protect against outgoing connections (although you can block incoming and outgoing ports).

Whoever has any numbers below 1024 open is really asking for it!

If you are browsing the web with no NAT or Firewall, then you are asking for it!

Hows that? MasterMrtangent.:p

Matter of fact whoever has any ports open is asking for it!

Yeah, how dare anyone run an FTP on port 21 or a webserver on port 80! Those fools! I can't believe anyone would want to share information! Infidels! :P

I think the better statement would be:

Matter of fact whoever runs anything by Microsoft is asking for it!

And rightly so.
