| Hi all,
|
| I can see that my event viewer is full of warnings such as the one
| below. Should I be worried ? It seems people are trying to connect to
| my home laptop (XP SP2).
|
| Is there anything I can do to track this guy down (IP address) ?
|
| Thank you so much
| Regards

If you are connected to the Internet via broadband, get a Cable/DSL Router such as the
Linksys BEFSR41. Due to Network Address Translation (NAT) it will act as a simplistic
FireWall and keep those connection attempts mostly at bay. By specifically blocking both
TCOP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139 and 445 on the Router you will effectively block all MS
Networking attempts from the Internet and will also protect you from Internet worms.
