At the moment I'd love to get port 139 closed to the outside interface, but no matter what it's just not working out that way. Prolly something simple that I'm missing. As for your port 22 if you've got Portsentry running it's very likely that "it" detected your connection attemtp and has done it's thing in blocking access to that port. That is a very common occurance. Since you can't connect even though a port scan shows it open I'm willing to bet that it's cause Portsentry is blocking access. -- daRcmaTTeR windows = "where do you want to go today" Mac = "go where you want, do what you want today" MDK-linux = " been there, done that, got the tee shirt, why do you ask?"
