Port 135
-
Decided to take a look at my firewall logs for this month and I must say I was surprised that almost every blocked attempt was port 135. Even better, they all orignate from USERS @ covad.net. Looks like covad peeps need to install a virus scaner. Leave my computer alone!

There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots.It's not necessarily a virus. Port 135 is used by the RPC service. From Win2K Help: RPC ports 2103 and 2105 can be incremented by 11 if the initial choice of an RPC port is in use when the Message Queuing service starts. Message Queuing queries RPC port 135 to discover the 2xxx-series ports. MQPing operates over UDP port 3527. It sounds like someone from Covad.net is trying to send you a message. If you don't have any legitimate use for Windows Messenger Service, shut it off. I got rid of a bunch of popup spam that way with no ill effects.:-D "Another day done - All targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly" - Jennie A.

I think I've given more support to family members than customers. :sigh: -- Watcha' gonna do, when Hulkamania runs wild on you!?

Would that be the test similar to the one required to procreate? :-D Jeff Patterson Programmers speak in Code. http://www.anti-dmca.org[^]

Probably a lot harder test. I find kids a lot less difficult to understand and manage than a Windows computer. "Another day done - All targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly" - Jennie A.
