Okaaaaay. After leaving the node running for 8hrs and doing what you said, I'm back in a good state. Connections open (Inbound/Outbound/Limit) 460 (283/177/512), Connections transferring (Transmitting/Receiving) 52 (15/37). Still getting lots of invalid connection errors in the firewall log (106 in the last 30 mins) but this doesn't appear to be having any deleterious effect on my node, though I can't say if it is having any effect on the nodes who sent the packets.
Whatever has been happening it seems to have stopped now (pity really as it means I don't have a clue what caused it in the first place) so thanks for you help Ed, and if you need any further info if you feel this needs further investigation feel free to ask.

Hmmm. At a first glance this seems to be working. After 5 mins there were 8 incoming connections (though none were transferring) and about 60 outbound, some of which were transferring. No instances of the non-listening port error this time, but to confuse matters further there are now a lot of "TCP non-syn/non-ack packet on invalid connection. Packet has been dropped" entries, one every few seconds. If I cross-reference an entry like this, it corresponds with an outgoing connection that is already open and in some cases already transferring. Weird. I'll leave it running as-is while I go to work and check it again when I get home. The firewall is Norton Internet Security 2003, but I have no clue how it knows if a port is listening or not. Thanks, Kevin. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Edward J.

But I don't quite understand how that could be, because I don't think any packets are sent out when listen begins. How does the firewall know the port isn't listening, anyway?
