on the router - "netstat -an" will list all active connections and all the ports listened to. myrouter: -root- # netstat -an Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 your..ip.no:22 122.132.142.152:22 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN After you have "logged of" from the university - check to see if the connection is still there. Works from a DOS box in Windows as well. For example if "netstat -an" reports a port :6667 then perhaps some IRC bot has taken over your computer. Of course that is what LEAF is for - to keep the bad guys out.
