The customer at 24.15.162.239 has been attempting to penetrate our perimeter net for almost 4 hours straight now, and it's getting really *OLD*... (Yes, they have been cut off at the routers, but I still have to sift through 4 hours of continuous log activity I'd rather not deal with - and they show *no* signs of catching an errant clue any time soon).Unless @Home gets lots of complaints regarding a particular user, they do very little, if anything. Spam and open NNTP servers are the only complaints that they appear to act on. I am an @Home customer and was getting repeated entire port range scans from another @Home customer located in the next town. I blasted off a complaint and received nothing in return. A telephone call to @Home and multiple conversations with a number of "supervisors" resulted in very little being done. IMHO, @Home's network is poorly managed and their support is next to useless. Unfortunately for me, DSL is not an option at this time. -- Jim Littlefield "One time I went to a museum where all the work in the museum had been done by children.

You can reach the abuse department at home.com at (650) 569-5399, but keep in mind that they are deliberately indifferent, and notoriously irresponsible about dealing with security issues. -jma =================================================================== Sed quis custodiet ipsos Custodes? =================================================================== James M.
