How are they trying to logon?? It might help to check your firewall
configuration to see if you can block the attempts. If the computer they are
trying to access has local accounts and they are trying to hack a local account,
that computer may have a different lockout policy than what is configured for
the domain. You could run net accounts on that machine to see what it
eports. --- Steve
