Hello,

I've been getting a number of hits on Port 80 from AOL Servers and
Proxies even without a Browser open.

Since they are not tied to an App Rule they are Blocked and they hit
some other Ports too, sometimes as high as 60,000.

Why are they Banging my Http Ports (80 and 1080) and ramdom Ports from
5000-80,000????

Since I'm Dial-up I'm not the Target but this IP Block must be.

The one's between 5000-60,000 are rare and I don't worry about them but
it seems they are AOL Servers or Proxie Servers most of the time and not
Users.

And I'm not talking about when I first go online with Dial-up where
someone else could have had the IP and I'm getting their Returns.

This example is not from a server but I had cleared my Log yesterday
after some Security Scans to check my Firewall so it's all I have right now.

Rule "Default Block HTTP Port 80" blocked (compaq,http). Details:
Inbound TCP connection
Local address,service is (compaq,http)
Remote address,service is (172.165.17.222,2122)
Process name is "N/A"

In Local Address; compaq is another way this computer lists localhost,
127.0.0.1.

Don't clear your logs if you are using the information they contain as the
basis of a question, or complaint.
