-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 im pretty sure that 10.*, 127.* and 198.* are not routable on the internet (which is why so many LANs use them), so it looks like whatever happened to your machine is coming from inside the LAN where your machine is hosted.

(maybe it's another damn IIS worm, since it appears that your ISP hosts mostly NT/IIS machines) but dont take my word, that's just a speculation, i'm not a networking specialist or anything. > -----Original Message----- > From: Steven M Bloomfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Subject: help - can someone explain this to me? > > Hi, > I'm webmaster of a large-ish website and yesterday the server went down. > It is a Redhat 6.1 Linux server.
