RE: [newbie] tcp port blackjack found open?
I have it blocked with my Firewall so I am not to worried. Everything seems to be working fine. Maybe I will block that port in the advanced settings (never thought of trying that). I will let you know if anything breaks. Thanks.

Yeah, yeah. I have played with Linux on and off over the years and am finally getting pissed at MS. One big reason for the cert is where I work is a MS shop (almost everything is MS, IBM, and CA [which I hate more than MS for the record]) and the other reason was the raise that went with it.G.
