81.106.210.146

[Mike Scott]

Anyone else having 81.106.210.146 (oxford) regularly in their firewall
logs? It's been poking at a range of ports here since at least late
Jan, which is when my security logs date back to.

I logged a complaint via the ntl web site a few days ago, but still the
probes continue..... not that I'm surprised.

Hi Mike

I had a few instances of 81.106 (not 81.106.210.146) between Sept and
Dec last year.

Its a zombie PC & happens all the time. No point worrying about it,
just leave your f/w blocking it and if you can be a**ed, report it to
ntl.

ntl don't seem to act on reports unless they get a heck of a lot per
IP. Shame really, its good PR to do something and its trivial to do
it.

I get a lot of probes from a machine on my subnet on the linuxconf port.
Some services such as, I belive PC anywhere automatically look to see any
other instances of themselves running nearby.

I sure posting the IP in a public forum will ensure he gets some
attention...

Not NTL of course, it would be too much to expect any commercial
orginisation to respond to something that doesn't affect their bottom
line directly.

This is why you have a firewall is it not, how can you expect NTL to chase
every IP address the enters your firewall log, most of the time the IP that
ends up in your log is not the originating IP address anyway, and if its
your log it has been stopped so stop worrying about it

@ Pendraqgon, you are leaving yourself wide open for spam if you leave your

The email address is left open deliberately, I'm running a little test.

Is the NTL spam filter any good??

So far so good, only about 1 every couple of weeks. I would like to get
back to the "good old days" before spam!! when you could email a reply
to a post instead of everything havening to posted back to the group.

From my limited experience, nothing is precisely what they use.

Ta muchly. Checking the logs, it seems they stopped on 12th March - no
entries since then.
