There is something out there scanning port
1434. My firewall has been beating back attempts
to connect to my machine on port 1434, all
coming from China. What kind of virus or trojan
would be trying to access machines on port 1434.
That is one advantage of having a software firewall
like Tiny. I am instantly notified when something
not in the rulset is attempted, and asks me what
I want to do. Your hardware appliances have not
learned that trick yet.
