Your router blocks it so no need to worry, I get them once in a blue moon as well. Its just your firewall doing its job
What Gary said, Q, the router is just waiting for you to pat it on the head and throw it a biscuit. ;D (Food in the thread by reply 2!)
The security alerts to worry about are the ones you don't get... hence a decent software firewall!
@ Gary (or Rik)- you might like to take Q's IP address out of the quote...
Nice spot, thanks, Bill. :karma:
Done. :thumb:
I think I got in just before you Ray, so you get the credit. ;D
Thanks, Rik, I'd missed it in the quote, Gary must have posted his reply just before I removed it from Q's original post.
It's easy for that to happen - he said, from experience. ;)
True, :)
Sorry about that :red:
That's you, me and Ray, Gary. We'll blame Q. ;D

Many thanks for the advice chaps. I take the full blame ;) Should have thought about the likely problems :eek4:
NP ;) :thumb:
Who are you calling a problem, Q? ;D
:whistle: ;D
