I never had this much trouble with INTRUSIONS until I upgraded to the Windows XP system and their anti-virus subscriber Norton. Besides the pop-up banners IDed as Worms in another topic, I've been beseiged with attacks by: - Net Bios MS PNP Querry Res Confllist BO
- MSRPC SrvSvc Net Api Buffer Overflow (2) ...and...
- MS ASNIInteger Overflow TCP
going after my netbios-ssn (139) Port. What are these intrusions? And what the heck is my netbios ssn port?? Should I worry???

While I can't speak about the specifics of your situation I can tell you with certainty that having up to date antivirus software and firewalls do help in prevention. I've been on an off here all day and haven't seen anything out of the ordinary with the exception of a place I use to host some of the images here exceeding bandwidth. Kind of odd considering the actual number of people coming here and the file sizes of the images. You'd think it was grand central station here having gone through a gig worth of bandwidth in a month where as normally it wouldn't even be half that.

Are you saying we should refrain from posting so many images? Would links be better than images?

No, images posted by users are not the issue. It is beginning to cross my mind that some of the images I have hosted for the different skins are being linked elsewhere for whatever reasons. One of them possibly being to eat up bandwidth from the site I use to host the images for the skins. The only different images between the skins are the headers at the top. All of the images at best only take up half of a standard floppy. Even on a good week we don't see enough traffic to kill 25% of the bandwidth limitations on the images. I have some alternatives I'm looking into and will be making some changes in the hear future for them. The best guess though I can come up with is that they are being linked in an effort to eat up the bandwidth though. It is definatly one of the things I'm working with my image host on, in finding whom is exactly doing such thing if indeed that is the case.
It's nothing that any member here is doing by linking images though imageshack or other image hosting sites.
