Probably this is a compromised Windows machine, and the owner isn't aware it's doing this, but either way, you should contact your ISP. Telia doesn't seem to be very different from most larger ISPs, and they may not react quickly or at all. You could also try using smbclient (part of the Samba port) to send a Windows popup message to that machine. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
