Hi John,
Ok..your explanation may resolve some problems. I suspected some kind of
scaning was going on. Unfotunately, I can't run linux 24/7 until I move
from W9x completely.
Generally I am in Linux a couple of times a day. One of the things I was
taught in Winblows is... if I have lockups and errors to reboot because in
theory it resets the registry. Yes, I know Linux doesn't have a registry,
but what I don't know is.. if Linux needs to be rebooted because of errors?
