Your email bounced... I was going to send you more information.

Yes, I am fed up with people harvesting my email address and sending junk.
Until a legislation is enacted to protect Internet users I will remain
anonymous.

I just entered your email address in my safe list of my
hotmail account and you can send it to Please,
remove "333" before mailing. It is for protection.

I really appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

Happy Memorial weekend everyone.

Sorry.

They have but it doesn't seem to be doing much good as of now.

You're not as anonymous as you may think. Your home IP shows in the
headers. If you have a way to turn it off I would advise doing so unless
you don't care or can't as many people find out. Also you should turn off
your Ping (Echo) response too unless you need it on. Sometimes I turn mine
on when I'm doing some testing or network configuration modifications. At
least you don't seem to have any ports hanging open. I did a quick port
scan of your system so if you have any logging enabled my port scanning
it'll show up there so don't worry about it.

Thanks a lot, much appreciated. I have a ZoneAlarm. It probably guards the
ports jealously, I assume.

I will take care of IP address shielding in the coming days since I am
getting a static one next week.

It seems to be doing the job. Any kind of firewall is better than none.
You do need to turn off your Ping (ICMP Echo) response however if you
don't need it. I was getting Pings back from your IP. Many network
programs won't even bother doing anything if they don't detect a host at
the given IP address. It helps to keep your system from being "molested"
on the Internet. Some people however deliberately leave their system open
a bit just so they can capture the IP's of potential intruders in a log
file. I feel sorry for the dumb-dumbs, intruders, who fall for that. They
get what's coming to them sooner or later if the owner of the system is a
good system hacker and ticked off about it. God help them, the dummy
intruders, cause they're going to need it.
