Does anyone know if 536 hits on my PC ports is something to worry about and also why are these people attemping un-solicated connections?? I normally fend off about 70-80 a day!

Nothing to worry about, all normal.

I've got some boxes that email logs of failed logons to me every night. Theres usually a couple of hundred a night! But its a few hundred faliured followed by one sucess that you have to look out for....
