Default firewall reports inbound events even though behind mn700 nat with no forwarding



Check for virus or spyware on your computer.

Check also port forwarding and security logs in the router.
Virus and spyware can open ports automatically in the
router (btw, as example, you can see outlook and messenger
opening ports).

>how is it possible for inbound events from public ip

addresses to bypass my mn-700 setup with nat and firewall
to reach my private ip addresses computer?
>usually the incomming connections are listed by mcafee as

from port 80 to some random port. there's also some
connections that try to get made from unknown ports, things
higher then 30000. it doesn't make any sense to me these
can possibly bypass the mn-700.

yes i said website because it's resolved to c.msn.com not
just some subscriber's ip address.
