: LOL what time would that be here?
: What kind of firewall do you have? It sometimes gives you an IP number of persons trying to access it.
19:55 is 20:55 BST which is 15:55 EST or 5 of 3 as you Yanks put it in your quaint colonial way.
I have a custom pro firewall (only just installed an upgrade, coincidentally) - this is because I also use this laptop for work, which has security implications.
The firewall gives me full information on who is trying to access my system IP, port, routing etc., etc. including blinds, false proxies and suchlike crap. If I want to do something about it, I can email the information or just make a phone call. I got an ISP in Singapore shut down last year. 4 silly kiddies insisted on fucking with me and they got what was coming to them, yo.
