Thanks to the many who responded. I e-mailed the ISPs, the offending IPs were mostly part of RoadRunner. I got canned e-mails from them, ATT Broadband, and rogers@home saying they were aware of the problem and working diligently to correct it, that I should get the latest patches blah blah. Anyway, it was suggested that I add the IP numbers to my hosts.deny file. Is this as easy as adding a line: ALL: 24.160.49.154, 24.123.54.138 There was way too much info in the man page! Todd
