IP Blocking

[JJ Neff]

OOOps of course. I have 2 routers between public internet and my PC and I
believe I drop ICMP at both - that would explain why I am not seeing any
traffic to my machine.. .heheh  I thought I had taken care of this!

There was so much traffic on the topic on one site I was concerned about
protecting myself too - of course most of these were windows users with no
routers...   hmmm

PS It took about 5 minutes to get the debian peerguardian working and the block
list updating daily - all the links were at the site I posted before...(think
they have gentoo and Mandriva packages as well).
