Hi,

that webserver runs an SQL server. All applications that need that SQL
Server run on the webserver itself. We only connect to it from our office
PC's with client tools like Query Analyzer, etc. No other clients, no other
web servers connect to that Server, nor does it connect to other outside
servers.

I will check with our hosting provider on this.

Does the data I gave mean what i thought: attempts to break in?

Thank you,
Vincent
