As Daniel said "Loads of people". When I was using the Alcatel
USB frog and
ZoneAlarm, there there hundreds of dodgy connections to my server every
day, including attempted NetBIOS connections...
Now there is no-way anybody 'accidently' tries a NB connection, it's script
kiddies running IP scans...

It rapidly got to the point where I turned the ZA logging off and just let
it silently block the attempts.

All the time and care that you've taken to set up your system and the lorry
loads of software on it can be trashed in minutes by the s'kiddies, so
let's be carefull out there... :)
