Ok..:-) Just checking. :-) There was a dsl machine that sent me about half a
dozen of these puppies to my desktop machine at work (NO samba! <G>) For the
life of me I can't figure out why that machine was even trying to talk to my
workstation... so I reported 'em to THEIR ISP and asked them to
investigate... normally I don't bother 'cause it's only a one-or-two hit
thing and then they go on... but when it comes out to more than half a dozen
hits on netbios over a couple minutes, I tend to be a bit concerned. ;-)
