Hi AllAt 10:21 GMT today we had an incidence of an ftp user accessing a ServU (Version 2.5f) server through a NAT. A few seconds later the firewall noted an inbound 'probe' on port 1038 (to the w/s - this port is not in the NAT)
The workstation firewall picked up as follows:
2003/02/04 10:21:26 203.198.145.93:6718 (mail.hyprint.com) 192.168.1.9:1038 Port 1038 (TCP)
The ftp logs show:

A cursory investigation noted that the 'probe' (allegedly from mail.hyprint.com) came from a machine that thinks it's mail.hyprint.com.hk (seemingly no connection to hyprint.com who have a very different MX config)
I might, at a push, believe this is a new user with a very open box, except, the box seems to be a W2K advanced server with M$ Exchange 2000 and DNS set up (alongside, RAdmin, ServUFTP 2.5j etc etc.) all running (apparently) behind a Linksys router (ip +8080).
Anyway - there's the heads up. :) _________________________________________________________________MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus
