How to Read MS "pFirewall.txt" file, and IP deciphering

[SpenceQ]

Is there a tutorial somewhere that shows you how to read the firewall file generated by the system, along with the meaning of it's terms and key words
.?

There are IP addresses indicated on my file. How or where do I get info on the actual user of these addresses.?

Thanks

Spence

I'm posting a portion of the first page, as most of the key words are repeated
throughout the file which is lengthly. OP is WXP Pro, SP 2

What I'm looking for is who is using my connectivity while I've set no permissions to update. My send/receive goes nuts on occasion and can't detect who's up/down loading.

Exceptions Settings:

File printer Sharing - off
Remote assistance - on
Remote Desktop - off
UPnP Framework - on

"Log dropped packets is - enabled"
"Log successful connections is - disabled"

When "my secret friend" is down/uploading, TaskManager Shows High activity in:

Firefox.exe, svchost.exe, and csrss.exe

Redmo0n:

Thanks for the info.!

Do you see any pattern in my file of hacking activity? If there is I wouldn't know as I don't know how to read the file.

If I understand your post correctly, 202.97.238.200 is within the domain of CNCGROUP.? I don't know who these people are as far as I know and I'm not running any of their products.

OK, I did a web search and found out these guys are major offenders. My concern now is they are using a proxy server. If they are I'll never be able to block them out in a firewall.

I'll input this address range somewhere in my firewall system if there is a place to do that.

Meanwhile if anyone can help thanks.
