Hello, Quick fix for Win95 DoS attack: Look on your Win95 machine for "Vnetbios.vxd" files and rename them. After, reboot the system (shutdown completely and power-cycle). This seems to solve the problem. Two places I know that contains Vnetbios.vxd: \windows\system\ \aol30\net\osr1 ^ or your favourite AOL directory :-) I dont know any additional ramifications of removing these files, but I do know they "fix" the problem. I suggest the only real way to do it on a large scale basis is to filter off port 139 at Term servers, routers, firewalls, etc. Jamie Rishaw Internet Access Group -- jamie g.k. rishaw <jamie@@iagnet.net> Internet Access Group Chance favors the prepared mind. __ [http://www.iagnet.net] DID:216.902.5455 FAX:216.623.3566 \/ 800:800.637.4IAGx5455
