BTW does anyone know if you can track total upload and download bytes with IPCop, traffic graphs aren't quite enough to show the total for the month........ err just curious, not for my home account or anything. ;-)

I had a bit of a time finding the usage policy, so I thought I'd provide a link and some documentation relevant to the discussion:https://secure.shaw.ca/policy/Use-Policy.asp "8. Users must ensure that their activity does not improperly restrict, inhibit or degrade any other customer's use of the Services, nor represent (in the sole judgement of Shaw) an unusually large burden on the network itself, such as, but not limited to, peer to peer file sharing programs, serving streaming video or audio, mail, http, ftp, irc, dhcp servers, and multi-user interactive forums. The guidelines for Bandwidth Usage/month for each business service package are the following: SOHO - 50 GigaByte; Professional - 70 GigaByte; Business - 100 GigaByte (combined download and upload). The guidelines for acceptable web site traffic include 300 MegaByte/month for Professional and 500 MegaByte/month for Business hosting packages. Residential services do not have specific guidelines of this nature as the Service is not intended for business applications. Shaw reserves the right to set specific limits for Bandwidth Usage and charge for excessive Bandwidth Usage for residential Services at any time. In addition, users must ensure that their activity does not improperly restrict, disrupt, inhibit, degrade or impede Shaw's ability to deliver the Services and monitor the Services, backbone, network nodes, and/or other network services." and... "The residential Shaw Services are designed for personal Internet use. You may not use the residential Shaw Services for commercial purposes. You may not run a server in connection with the Shaw Services nor may you provide network services to others via the Shaw Services. Examples of prohibited servers and services include, but are not limited to, mail, http, ftp, irc, dhcp servers, and multi-user interactive forums. Some Business services may be exempt from these limitations."

For example, Iwouldn'tfeel bad about running a game server on weekends, but running a DS 24/7 would break the spirit of the law. Same would go for an e-mail server (for example) -- I would feel okay forwarding my own DNS domain account and running POP3/IMAP, but hosting a bunch of busy mailboxes would break the spirit of the thing. Is this how Shaw sees things too?

Usually high bandwidth usage is a clue. Curtis Sloan wrote:Do they also do the odd port scan, or only if there is suspiciousbandwidthusage?

Except for a brief period when the blaster worm was out, port 135 was shut-off. (I'm a TSR there...)
