it means someone violated one of your firewall rules. omeone from 168.187.17.99 port 4442 tried to connect to your port 1243 over your ppp link. its ipchains that logged the violation. unless you get lots of repeat attempts, i wouldnt worry about it too much. -- ======================================================================== Rocky McGaugh Atipa Linux Solutions Product Development www.atipa.com rocky@smluc.org rmcgaugh@atipa.com ======================================================================== On Sun, 30 Apr 2000, Togan Muftuoglu wrote:
