As I posted a month or so ago, I am having the same problem with my DUN. I
get a 50~100K hit every 1 to 5 minutes. I use McAfee FW and it blocks it but
I guess since the modem saw it, it considers it "activity". It "attacks"
many ports but 135 is a high percentage. The sent from address varies
considerable but someone told me there were a lot from Asia & Pakistan &
Russia.
Thank God for FWs that work.
If you find a solution, let me know 'cos I like to d/l files at night (my
DUN is extremely slow, i.e. 22K) after I go to bed but can't now since it
will not disconnect after the d/l.
