Hi Joe et al.. Thanks for that info. I have XP setup on VMware. So I guess that's it. JIM On Wednesday 27 June 2007 02:00, Joe Morris (NTM) wrote:

HI all,
When I get online I find later in my messages this:
-------------------- Jun 26 18:39:38 Opus smbd[9360]: read_data: read failure for 4 bytes to client 89.51.156.29. Error = Connection reset by peer --------------------
Is this someone trying to get in my system and should I be worried?
No, it is not someone trying to break in. From my research, it is caused by the fact you have XP machines on your local network, which respond on both port 139 and 445 to a packet. Answers I have seen and tried are to block port 445 on your firewall and /or limiting samba to not listen on 445. I have tried both and still see it occasionally so I am not positive about this info, other than the fact it comes from your local network not the internet side.
