Uhm (I know I should be in bed - I was there but I got bored so I came back here.) This doesn't really belong in the Photography forum, but I don't really know where else to go with it. I was browsing through the Poser gallery when my Zonealarm started picking up things like these.. The firewall has blocked Internet access to your computer (TCP Port 1080) from 209.58.53.51 (TCP Port 1625). I did an IP whois, and it gave me the info about the person's ISP, this is my result. New Com (NETBLK-NEWCOM-2) Australia St. Sakhra Building, 2nd Flr., Raouche Beirut, LB The coordinator to contact used a Hotmail email address - something I find more than a little suspicious! An ISP would definitely have their own domain! Not really sure where this would belong..Complaints and Debate? I'm pretty sure it must have come from Renderosity, as I didn't have any other programs open at the time....then again I get all kinds of lameass people trying to hack me because I am an operator on one of Undernet's biggest channels. (For those of you who are IRC users..well you'll probably know what I mean :P) Just not exactly sure where to go with this..... It's not exactly very photography related.. :-) Back to bed.... ~M~
