Yes, that was the first thing that I did. >Yes, I would do exactly that. However, a connection every 2 minutes does >not look like a "crack" attempt - more like a POP3 client.

Humm.. come to think of it, I think the log he sent me DOES show a MAC address (there is a string at the end of each line that looks like it could be one). I'll have to check that against my machine to see if they match. If they do, I will then REALLY be scratching my head as I just can't think of any reason (or way) that SIMS could be trying an outbound POP connection. And to the best of my knowledge, SIMS is the only thing running on that machine. (there is nothing else showing as running that shouldn't be, either in the application menu, or via apps like Quitter that show all FBAs as well. And there is nothing in the extensions, control panels, startup items, or system folder that shouldn't be, even double checked with ResEdit for invisible files). >P.S. Do you know what firewall it is? Um... no. Something on a Win2k machine. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
