Over the past week I haven't been able to get much work done.
My McAfee firewall interupts me every 2 - 3 minutes to let me know that someone has Attempted an Unsolicited Connection to TCP port 6346 on my computer because they are using Gnutella !!!

My McAfee firewall also gives me the IP address of the person who is attempting this illegal connection and it allows me to report these HACKERS to HackerWatch.org, a community and collection point for Internet users to report and share information to block and catch 'hackers' and other unwanted unsolicited traffic.

****

[Stop spamming]
How about sharing the IP with us... we can all block it... it is possible, even likely that it is not a Gnutella user per se as I don't know of a Gnutella client that makes unsolicited calls like that but some organization in the pursuit of identifying Gnutella users...
