In my opinion the isp shouldn't have anything to do with viruses/trojans. that should be up to the end user. if the end-user is stupid and has no protection then too bad for them. my isp closed someones account once because they had a trojan or somethin g. it turned out they didn't have one at all and my isp was just being lazy or someting. they can't run a network. they just blocked icmp 'to save bandwidth' On Mon, Dec 01, 2003 at 09:30:36PM -0600, Deedra Waters wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > rr at least likes to block some ports depending on the section of their service area that you're in in other areas, you can lose your account for running some services > > A lot of the reasons that isps block ports like that is mainly do to problems withtrojans/exploits and also that they don't want you hosting web and mail because it takes away from their business.:p > > > On Mon, 1 Dec 2003, Jes and guide dog Harley wrote: > > > Hi all. > > One of the reasons I want to run Linux is because I want to eventually be able to offer my own services to the outside world. > > Services including mail, web, etc. I'm wondering if I should worry about what my ISP is going to think about this, or should I > > even bother telling them at all.
