Are you sure it is them and not another subscriber ? If in doubt - ask them (your ISP) -- Regards, Mike -- Mike Brannigan [Microsoft] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Please note I cannot respond to e-mailed questions, please use these newsgroups "Carlos" wrote in message ...

Carlos,
I absolutely agree that there is never a good reason for a user to be port scanning your machine - and yes it is similar to someone actually walking up to the doors and windows of you house and trying the locks to see if they are open. -- Regards, Mike -- Mike Brannigan [Microsoft] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Please note I cannot respond to e-mailed questions, please use these newsgroups "Carlos" wrote in message ... Thank you for your reply, I guess I'm not 100% sure so I sent a firewall report to their abuse team and also to support, There is of course the acceptance use policy which from my understanding will not be tolerated if broken, you know a port scan seems to me the same violation as if someone was outside my house looking for a way to get in. Again thank you
