That would probably be the messenger service in Win2k..... to stop it, go to Settings -> control panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services. Find Messenger and disable it. Thanks, Paul Or load the linux OS of choice ;) On Wed, 2003-08-20 at 12:32, Chris Todd wrote:

Computer Technician? you sure?
That ain't nothing compared to the "Network Security Engineer" that posted a few messages before that had never heard of Blaster and has his servers set to auto-update from M$ (shudder). -- Joseph F. Noonan Rigaku/MSC Inc. jfn@msc.com
Chris, Chances are that you're not but...make sure you block the following ports (at a minimum) at your firewall: 135 137-139 445 If you don't have a firewall, you need to get one installed ASAP. In the meantime, install a personal (software) firewall - if the circumstances allow. If you are getting pop-up ads on that server, who knows what else is going on. -Jack --- Chris Todd <ctodd@westernnews.com> wrote:
