Got something similar here in the UK also. I once had a Linux server box running on my DMZ, got a few physical letters from my residential ISP (Virgin Media UK) saying they detected some open port that was recommended to be closed (Think it was NetBIOS port).
Might have been part of this scheme.
Don't have that box anymore (was around 5 years ago) or a PC on the DMZ so haven't received any since.
- denton-scratch 4y ago> Might have been part of this scheme. I doubt it. Network operators like Virgin have very good business reasons to ensure their own network isn't infested with computers running services like NetBIOS, which has no business being exposed on the internet (it is rather verbose, and completely useless outside of a LAN).
