![]() Help Over the past week my sygate firewall keeps sending a message that my ports are being scanned by 203-184-xx.xx 203-184-xx.xx 203-184-xx.xx 203-184-xx.xx 203-184-xx.xx This has happened both while using Limewire and just browsing Now i was using limewire when i got the message again then Limewire shut down then sygate shut down so i disconnected my dialup, shutdown and rebooted in safe mode. I then scanned with AVG but the system crashed and it said i have to reinstall windows. Now i have lost all my downloads. Help What can i do Mike PS Using another computer to send this Last edited by Peerless; April 16th, 2005 at 09:11 AM. |

![]() Sure, use your Add/Remove Prog Control panel to remove Java. Then download Java & SAVE it to your computer (don't install it over the net.) Then re-install it. Perhaps you can see: Fixes for Limewire |

![]() Thanx for your replies. The computer i am now using is actually the same computer but on a separate partition (using partition magic) This partition has also been scanned so i have spent some time on sygate. I did a back trace and see IP address 202-180-80-68 etc so maybe block this aswell however i havnt learned as yet how to block in sysgate. On back trace i clicked who is it but it came back that it could not identify them |

![]() There's a 'new' way noted to send users useless results. Looks like an attempt to disrupt file-sharing. Follow the thread at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/message/21705 (Looks like the easy workaround is to scroll down the results list --don't download the from the early "popular" files) |

![]() Mike I don't use Sygate myself so I can't advise you on it but I do use Norton Personal Firewall 2003 and I have found that firewalls are complex beasts. To get the best from them you first must read the manual, downloadable from the manufacturers web site, and, if required, check out a forum that deals with firewalls, like CastleCops (formerly Computer Cops): http://castlecops.com/forum2.html The one piece of advice I can give is to install PeerGuardian 2 (beta 5) on your PC. PeerGuardian stops a range of 848,778,337 IPs, updated daily, from accessing your PC. With PeerGuardian and a properly configured firewall your PC should be safe. UK Bob |
