Ello again.
Sorry for soopid questions but thats me for you.
Ive played a fair few games online and as such always have a mind to keep my computer secured (well as much as it can be) against hackers. When i play sof/kingpin/cs(oo bad me) i get a few wireplay pings ect reported in my fire wall. usualy after quiting i get around 6-10 attemps againt my computer (this is normal im told).
I played FLF on wp a day ago and when i quit i had a quick glimps at my firewall log. it said it had stoped 60 attacks (or would be) against my computer. whats up with that? Is it a open port prob via FLF? Any body know why this is going on?
ta again

Hmm...not being someone particularly security minded when it comes to the Internet, this is quite a disturbing possibility...anyone got any thoughts?

I haven't noticed anything like that, and run two firewalls soo.

Is this happening everytime?

no. see thats my worry. it seems to be just now and then. It seems alot of activity for playing a game. Im used to getting pinged now and then but 50 to 60 times seems a bit excesive.
