So our friend "Hank" is violating internet protocol by trying to probe unassigned ports on our machines via his website, as well as forum rules by directing FReepers to a (possibly malicious) site that he runs to boost the hits there.

Where exactly did I redirect anyone to a web site?

Looks like we have a spat between two long term FReepers over some technical mumbo jumbo regarding Internet communications/handshaking. I don't know what makes these things tick (the Internet works in mysterious ways), but I sincerely doubt that anyone is trying to break into your computer.

How about just moving on to some other thread?

Thanks,

Jim
