10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 1st try


i configured NIS how it says on that link, and im not sure if its worked or not yet. so far so good, but i got 4 security alerts when i first started LW. they were all "high risk: a remote system is attempting to access your computer"

i have spybot, peer guardian and ad-aware as well as NIS, so i think i'm ok on that front.

ive included some details norton gave me on the blocked 'intrusion attempts'.

#1
Remote address is (24.155.26.208)
Message type is "Destination Unreachable"
Process name is "N/A"

#2
The user has created a rule to "block" communications
Inbound ICMP request
Local address ({{my stuff was here}}))
Remote address is (24.150.80.78)
Message type is "Destination Unreachable"
Process name is "N/A"

the other 2 were pretty much the same.

any new ideas?
cheers for the help by the way, much appreciated.
