That depends. A port is only open if some device is "listening" at that port address. An open port is only vulnerable to exploitation if the listening device is vulnerable to exploitation. Limewire is the controlling factor. If it is vulnerable, you are vulnerable. If it isn't, you aren't. It doesn't matter what port you use. -- Dave "Crash" Dummy - A weapon of mass destruction ?subject=Techtalk (Do not alter!) http://lists.gpick.com \Crash\ Dummy |

nothing...thanks ""Crash" Dummy" <> wrote in message news:... > >I open 6346 for limewire is this really an issue? > > That depends.
