Howto block remote telnet to my pc? Can I use netstat to do that? Also: what does this netstat entry says: Proto Local Address Foreign Address State TCP mycomputer:telnet mycomputer.myworkgroup:0 LISTENING ->could this be a remote hacker listenning at my ports? Kind of strange since all I was doing at that time is to load computing.net!

First its very easy to disable Telnet. Go to Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Click on SERVICES. Now cursor down to Telnet. It is usually set to manual. Right click and select Properties. Then there will be many Tabs, it should be on that first page and just select DISABLE FROM THE DROP DOWN Menu. Instead of Manual. IMPORTANT REMEMBER TO CLICK APPLY SETTINGS; and close out after that. Note: Your Telnet connection vary well could be a hacker; though I suspect your running behind some type of firewall and it's just a Routing Error. Regarding the Netstat tool, is it the one from www.analogx.com? If so the error message your getting is because of the improper IP being routed through the firewall. NetStat has nothing to do with what your worrying about. Netstat Just gives real good Info on Bandwidth, Upload and Down load limits, and a few other various Info. What you also need to do is Go to Control Panel/select Performance and Maintance/ then Select the SYSTEM TAB/ Then click on The Remote Tab, and Uncheck both those Boxes. Again Make Sure U click Apply Settings. Bam then there U go, Good as New. Good Luck and Have a Good One. Sig/Sivar It is by Will Alone that I set My Mind in Motion.
