This was received by our support staff late last night.  Apparently the guy
thought 192.168.1.2 was "hacking him", 'nuff said.

Subject: Server USC in California hacking ports


Whoops I forgot to add the security log in previous mail.


I know that you share a DNS server 216.173.192.10) with Vircom.net. The
website at USC is hacking the DNS servers and it is now hacking you server. I
contacted the Web master at USC and states this is normal activity for his
server and suggests I have something misconfigured on my network. I am using
the assigned static IP's given to me by Vircom.net. I am running a NAT router
and Firewall for security alerts. This hacking only started to happen in the
past week. It only happens when running W2K and active directory. It does not
happen with the same computer, router and firewall when Win98 or NT4 is run.

Are you concerned about this hacking from USC upon your DNS server ?
