Non 914:
Can anyone tell me in dummy language ( simple and understandable) what this below means. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) Blocked incoming TCP Blocked outgoing TCP McAfee Firewall blocked an incoming TCP packet. The remote address associated with the traffic was 211.232.56.200 (port 3148). The template rule in effect for this traffic was "Unknown traffic" I am especially interested in how to look up numbers such as the 211.232.56.200 (port 3148) and identify where they originate. The number shown is just an example of many other numbers the firewall reports. My firewall shows this often as well as SYN attack blocked. Thanks. Cooley |

Thanks. The explanation was superb. Simple is easy to understand. I copied and pasted your reply as a permanent file in my VIP files.
Advice: Lots of old farts like me should do the same. Why do they want to probe a persons computer? What do they hope to find? Any idea? I don't do porn since I live in the real world of man/woman relations, not perverted in any sense but lots of time using a search engine will always muster up one of those slim sites that won't let you back out or close the link. |
