My admin server is only accessible from the local network (I dont need remote admin so
enabling it
seemed an unneccessary risk) and I have nothing enabled except the defaults as regards
ports and
services enabled.

My concern was more one of - If someone is trying to (for example) telnet into a
blocked service
or scaning ports to look for a weakness - is there a log trail that might warn me ???
and what info
is logged that might help me slap the wrist of the wouldbe hacker ???
The reason that I am interested is that a friend has had problems (in his case with
Wingate (I
think)) on his cable modem setup and we had to run a network monitoring tool on the
cable modem
side to see wat was going on.
