Actually Randy, if you will re-read my original first sentence, it says my router IS blocking those incoming packets.&nbsp; <br><br>I was really curious abot thew 10.x.x.x address especially because I thought it was supposed to be private AND because I have seen that address a lot in the log as being blocked.&nbsp; As far as my ISP checking if I was running a web site, I guess that may make sense and I honestly don&#39;t know if my ToS prohibit me doing so.
<br><br>Thanks folks !!<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/5/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Randy Melder</b> &lt;<a href="mailto:randymelder@gmail.com">randymelder@gmail.com</a>&gt; wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
never say never...<br><br>The 10.x.x.x network is &#39;reserved&#39; for private use, but alas... our enemies to the east route these address blocks for black hat ops.<br><br>Your router ACL should include rules denying traffic inbound from the private networks:
<br><a href="http://10.0.0.0" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">10.0.0.0</a> /8<br><a href="http://172.16.0.0" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">172.16.0.0
</a> /12 (I think)<br><a href="http://192.168.0.0" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">192.168.0.0</a> /16<br><br>It sounds like this rule isn&#39;t in force and you&#39;ll need to implement per your router setup.

An IP address starting with 10 Is a private address and is not routeable on the Internet. Someone is likely spoofing their source address if you&#39;re not using that as your network.<br><br>As far as your ISP probing port 80, it may be against your Terms of Service to run a webserver so they may be checking if you are.
