Hi All, I'm hoping that there is a lister with good knowledge of the technicalities of the internet.
In my logs, there are many entries along the lines of:- Jan 22 22:01:16 tedsnewmacpro Firewall[99]: Stealth Mode connection attempt to TCP 192.168.1.67:56039 from 76.74.254.118:80 and Jan 22 19:28:49 tedsnewmacpro Firewall[99]: Deny netbiosd data in from 172.16.162.1:137 to port 137 proto=17 The second is, I presume, some internal matter between the Mac system and the ADSL router, but the first worries me a little. I've checked many of the IP addresses on whois.domaintools.com, and discovered Amazon, eBay & Adobe (amongst others). Amazon I know offers server services to other organisations, but why should ebay, Adobe or in fact anyone try a Stealth Mode connection to my router? Do I have cause for concern?
