    Hi Hoof and all on the list,
    
    >(192,168,1,9,4,14)
    4*256+14= 1038
    nothing curious in this "probe"
    
    just a passive mode connection from the client to your server _after_ he
    requested the server to go to passive mode with this command
    >[2] Tue 04Feb03 10:21:25 - (000001) PASV
    
    and your server responded that the client should the data connection
    connect to him on port 1038.
    >[6] Tue 04Feb03 10:21:25 - (000001) 227 Entering Passive Mode 
    >(192,168,1,9,4,14)
    
    Your NAT should provide fixup for the address 192.168.1.9 and port 1038
    and a permit and translation for the later incomming connection. If it
    doesn't it's plain broken NAT.
    
    Best regards,

    just another techie speaking for himself

    Hi All
    
    At 10:21 GMT today we had an incidence of an ftp user accessing a ServU 
    (Version 2.5f) server through a NAT. A few seconds later the firewall
    noted 
    an inbound 'probe' on port 1038 (to the w/s - this port is not in the
    NAT)
    
    The workstation firewall picked up as follows:
    >2003/02/04 10:21:26 203.198.145.93:6718 (mail.hyprint.com) 
    >192.168.1.9:1038
    >Port 1038 (TCP)
    
    The ftp logs show:

    A cursory investigation noted that the 'probe' (allegedly from 
    mail.hyprint.com) came from a machine that thinks it's
    mail.hyprint.com.hk 
    (seemingly no connection to hyprint.com who have a very different MX
    config)
    
    I might, at a push, believe this is a new user with a very open box,
    except, 
    the box seems to be a W2K advanced server with M$ Exchange 2000 and DNS
    set 
    up (alongside, RAdmin, ServUFTP 2.5j etc etc.) all running (apparently) 
    behind a Linksys router (ip +8080).
    
    Anyway - there's the heads up. :)
