Well, I've allready tried whois, host -a, dig, and so on, but it's not giving me any more then telling me who's the ISP, and I allready know that. Same as mine :-) The problem with blocing his is IP is that it's dynamic, next time he reboot, he'll be back with another one. So then I have to block the hole range, and that's rather drastic. What I was looking for, was a way to notify the poor guy so he could take some proper action to clean his machine. He is probably not aware of the problem. I'll have a look at smbclient / Hasse
