Your router blocks it so no need to worry, I get them once in a blue moon as well. Its just your firewall doing its job

[Rik]

What Gary said, Q, the router is just waiting for you to pat it on the head and throw it a biscuit. (Food in the thread by reply 2!)

[Bill]

The security alerts to worry about are the ones you don't get... hence a decent software firewall!

@ Gary (or Rik)- you might like to take Q's IP address out of the quote...

[Rik]

Nice spot, thanks, Bill.

[Ray]

Done. 

[Rik]

I think I got in just before you Ray, so you get the credit.

[Ray]

Thanks, Rik, I'd missed it in the quote, Gary must have posted his reply just before I removed it from Q's original post.

[Rik]

It's easy for that to happen - he said, from experience.

[Ray]

True, 

[Gary]

Sorry about that 

[Rik]

That's you, me and Ray, Gary. We'll blame Q.

[Gary]

That's you, me and Ray, Gary. We'll blame Q.

[quandam]

[Rik]
