-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 John, what services if any do you have running? Are the probes from the same machine each time? Are they from a machine within your cable network (or another dsl)? What is your level of expectation when you notify the sysadmin -- is this originating network in, say, China? Or Korea? The box could be thoroughly owned. Your emails may not even be reaching the right person, for a variety of reasons. They may not be understood. They may be discarded. The 'other guy' may view the scanning as 'nuisance'. The contact info may be out of date. Take your contact upstream. cIf I'm really interested/annoyed, I call the sysadmin directly. Never regretted it, either - the vast majority are great. :) Missy c -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.5.3i for non-commercial use <http://www.pgpi.com> iQA/AwUBOqSIPLs7QqFiUlmlEQIcSwCg61Qxg8dv2FfPhhpappvarsdayF4An0Qh O+9d/GL9/nrHOK14FStNI3mn =8LXf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
