[olug] Installfest thanks and a question

[Brian Wiese]

:) Since I'm ignorant as to how frontpage whatever works, you've got me
stumped.  If it is indeed a firewall problem, the only thing that comes to
mind is possibly trying out portsentry.  It listens on ports to see if
anyone is trying to connect/scan you, and it can then log that and block
them.  I personally haven't used it (yet), but from just dnld'n and
installn, it doesnt look to complicated. <shrug> (I've been deceived
before though too...) :) 

Anyone else have frontpage knowledge?  Does it somehow try to reconnect to
the host by some means?

good luck
Brian
