It wasn't a DoS but just the fallout of other computers thinking that you were sharing files because they didn't know the previous user disconnected. I'm presuming that you are assigned a dynamic ip address by your ISP. Normally disconnecting and dialing back into your ISP will fix the problem because it will assign you a new ip address. -- Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur. http://www.jcsmall.com/homepage ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
