You said in another message you are using a firewall, disable

Ok but that would be like having sex without any protection ;)


Phah!... Coffee spluttered just missing the keyboard...!

Perhaps you shouldn't play on something so promiscuous. Try an

Certain OSes simply don't need a firewall.

We've been trying for awhile to get her to switch to Linux.

And I am very stubborn.....

Ok I just checked my firewall log and this hit at 9:07pm

A computer at IP Address 152.1.109.52  has attempted an unsolicited
connection to TCP port 1024 on your computer.
TCP port 1024 is commonly used by the "Reserved / NetSpy Trojan"
service or program. The source computer has scanned your computer
for this trojan, but it has been blocked by your firewall.


So there is no way I am dropping it just to see if Seti works.

That is someone from "  OrgName:    North Carolina State University "
trying to get in. Do you by chance use them for an ISP?

No I use Verizon.
