It wasn't from the WH, but I did get a delial of service attack from

in Holland... First it attempted to contact this computer and when my
firewall
blocked it and alerted me, I found a DoS attack followed within a few
minutes...
Again my firewall detected and prevented this "severe" attack... Who do
we know
that posts from Holland?

It's almost certainly a spoofed address, you don't leave something like that
for all to see. What are you using as a firewall that you were vulnerable
to something as ancient as jolt2? It doesn't seem to be working very well.

I use 2 different firewalls and the one I'll mentioned is Sygate. I am/was not
vunerable... The attack was stopped before it could ever begin and I was
informed of the attack and the log logged all the ip addresses from the start to
this computer (There were 13)... And a simple click of back trace and "whois"
can tell me who (generally) launced the attack...
