My logs have about just as much real requests as hacking attempts - ignore it and move on :) faculty 09-25-2002, 07:02 PM Hey!

Your lucky wait till its gets to 100's and 1000's of times a day... dbbrock1 09-25-2002, 08:26 PM Oh, so its just a common thing i guess. jw 09-25-2002, 08:30 PM Very common...its annoying, but harmless other than taking up bandwidth.

A polite telephone to the owner usually sorts the problem if you can trace them. If not report the abuse to the ISP. They usually frown upon this even if the owner of the server isn't doing it intentionally. |
