You really can't stop them from knocking but you can stop them from
getting in, which is what happens when the firewall drops the connection.

Be more concerned with what is getting in.


But Danny, the post is about outbound activity.

ok, need some direction here, I have (108) stores that are connected
through a wan, that has a private address scheme. none of them are
allowed to go out to the internet. all connections go through checkpoint
FW1. I have numerous connections through the day trying to connect from
each store pc (windows 2000 professional) to unknown.level3.net port 2920
and 2938.

Googling web, I found all kinds of items, that are way out there... :)

but what I need is for someone that has dealt with this, to tell me what
it is, and how to stop it. all attempts are dropped by firewall, but this
continually happens.

Thanks in advance

AL
