4599 is an unassigned port according to the IANA ports list. At 19:59 17/10/2001 +0545, you wrote:
My ipchains log shows that I received 85 attempted udp connections to port 4599 in just over 3 minutes, apparently from a host calling itself shtam017085.netvigator.com (208.139.101.85). The attempted connections came regularly every two seconds from 208.139.101.85:4599 -> my_address:4599 ipchains is set to DENY rather than REJECT, perhaps accounting for the delay between attempts. Does anyone have any idea what this might be/mean?
