It would help if you gave information as to your set-up.

Is this a LAN server behind a firewall, or an accessible one in a DMZ?

Which bits of the IP change? Not the 89 I would guess.

FYI loader.com is a German site selling earth-moving equipment.

Hi Newell

Thanks for replying. The IP is all over the place; there was an event an
hour ago from 77.181.253.32.

This is a hosted server using Windows Firewall. I have looked up some of the
IP addresses, and so far they are all in Germany, but not the same place
each time. I haven't looked up the one above, but if I ping it I get

dtmd-4db5fd20.pool.einsundeins.de

Any other information?

Charles

Charles;

Did you ever determine the source of these events? We're seeing them on our
FTP server (windows 2000) located in our DMZ?

Thanks

It was a few weeks ago, but I seem to remember that we disabled FTP on the
server, as we no longer require it, and the problem went away. Not a very
scientific solution, but it worked for us.
