I just got used to that :)

Actually, I have a couple of ICQ contacts that are connecting through
demon.co.uk and I get at least 2 odd connection attempts each time they
send to me or receive a message from me. These ports can be in 3xxxx or
right down to 20, 24, 90 etc. I've never worked out why they are
sending the packets, and ICQ works perfectly anyway, so I would be
interested to know why I'm getting stupid connection attempts ONLY from
this ISP.


If you search the INCIDENTS list back to January or something, you will
find the thread related to some weird traffic which we have seen being
originated from *.daemon.co.uk routers. So far we came to conclusion that
some of their routers have certain missfunctionality (confirmed by some
dragon .co.uk tech. support team) and they may still have problems with
fixing it up. if it helps..
