Just wondering, those who can, whether you could check the IP(s) below and see what weaknesses / holes there are in the guys connection. Basically it's a mates who has broadband and seems to think that he doesn't need to protect himself with firewalls, we were dicussing it in ICT, and I was just wondering wether this was the case...

If you have broadband, have file sharing enabled, and do not have a firewall, you  are asking for a lot of trouble. I'm not going to even bother checking given that I don't know the owner or the addresses, and they have not done anything to me to warrent a response.

Heh,

But seriously I just wanted to point out why he needs one - I would do it myself if I had any idea what to do - so I thought I'd ask the kind and caring people at teh geekery for a bit of help :)

He doesnt have file or printer sharing on, so most people wont be able to meddle with shit on his computer.
