Attack Detected

Al · 2006-12-19T19:49:28+00:00

My firewall continually pops up with a little message saying that an attack to some port was detected. It gives me some numbers (like that's supposed to mean something to me) that I don't understand. There's a log with long lists of these "attacks."Am I supposed to do something with this stuff? How do I find out who the attacker is?As you can see, I'm not very experienced with firewalls (except for shutting them off).Al

If your firewall passed the test, then no need to worry.
