  Hello all,

  Here is something to contemplate.  Right now portions or possibly all of
  Cox, Charter, Comcast and SBC DSL networks are not allowing in or outbound
  port 135, 139 and 445 traffic.  Take into consideration the vast number of
  uneducated users running XP or 2000 with no protection on those networks.
  So, is it possible that these ISP's are finally clueing into the dangers
  that their networks pose to the Internet at large and are partial to thank
  for Blaster not being a Slammer times 1000?

  On a funny side note a few of these ISP's are denying the fact that they
are
  blocking those ports, but there is NO way you can scan over 200 client
  machines and see tons of 5000 (uPnP) ports open and not one 135, 139 or
445.
