My ISP (Earthwink Tech Supervisor) says that "regular" probes from
them occur constantly and for administrative purposes, and to not
worry as they do not represent any type of access threat. Also said
to not worry about the foreign IP attempts unless ports have been left
open for other work.

Any thoughts on this reassurance?
