28817 2001-12-28 04:52:00 Hi Tweak'e, I haven't had any serious probings just lately, but about 2 weeks or so ago, all the time I was logged on I was getting 'intruders' every 10-20 seconds nearly all from Japan, but from Taiwan, Korea, France and Belgium too. Some were just 'normal' ISP pings etc but most were probably robotic port scans.
Why does this sort of thing happen periodically? Does it happen to everyone?

28818 2001-12-28 06:51:00 When I used zfree I was getting port scanned, and probed (sub seven mainly) etc every 5-10mins which got anoying.

All of it was from various local IPs.

28819 2001-12-28 08:52:00 Hi tweak'e
I don't know very much about 'hits' and have only recently installed Zone Alarm {the free one} Over the last few days I have had heaps of alerts but I don't know what the ports etc. mean. Just a few moments ago while I was responding on Press F1 and alert came up with a NetBIOS NAME Port 137. Never had a hit on this site before! Can you tell me what this was please? Thanks.

28820 2001-12-28 09:59:00 i doubt it was this site the made the hit (this is starting to sound like a gangster movie)

it was just someone trying to look up your computers name.

have a look at grc.com

try it with firewall on and off ;-)
