Title: Everytime I come to this website,
Post by purpleydog on May 25th, 2004, 9:58pm
Everytime  come to this website, and I mean every time, someone or something attempts to break into my computer. This happens whether I'm logged in or not. My firewall prevents this from happening, but it's always the same numbers that come up  xxx.xxx.x.x
Does this happen to anyone else? I don't know what the numbers are called, but can't they be traced back to where they're coming from?

That address is not an outside source, but rather your router communicating with your computer.  The IP Address you show is a privately assigned IP address within your own home network.

Does this mean she should erase her post before a hacker sees those numbers?

Just curious

Is that anything like a port scan attack ? I get them all the time and my firewall stops them.......but then I'm not positive I know exactly what they are it is stopping. I suppose there a bad thing ? But it gives info of who did it......but then 'one' always says it is not lawful I retain info on the attacker and gives no info but that it was stopped......huh ? I get em everywhere I go tho not jus here. Even when recieveing mail sometimes. Whatever Pam
