Port 6057 getting hammered

Something that appears to have started recently: my port 6057 is getting constant hits from 66.90.79.74. SmartWhoIs tells me that this address belongs to someone/-thing called FDCServers.net LLC in Chicago. ZoneAlarm is blocking these hits, but I'd like to know if anyone has any info regarding this phenomenon.

Thanks!

My automatic whois in Port Explorer gives me this, so you know where to complain.
You can do more blocking with the ZAPro like excluding that IP range from reaching your system at all or adding some expert rules (the experts in this forum can help you with that -- that's what it are expert rules for!)
Get a (free) evaluation of Port Explorer at the www.diamondcs.com.au site and spy in the connections, block and/or kill them, at least you can do something and see what they are trying to bomb you with and if it could be related to anything on your system (most probably not, but with that you know for sure!)

 

Thanks, Shockem and Jooske. The free version of ZA, which is what I'm currently running, was blocking all of the hits, so I don't expect that anything untoward occurred.

I will, however, be contacting the source to see if they can offer any info - just to settle my own curiosity.

 

Yes, think it's good to contact them, and i would try the Port Explorer to detect in the blink of an eye if anything on your system would be connected to the problem, anything listening on that port, some application you're not aware off, whatever it could be.
Your ZA log should convince them already, while PE gives you some tools in hands to detect and do some more.
If this doesn't solve enough you might like to post a Hijackthis log in the HJT forum for the experts to look for you.

 

Thank you, Jooske - I'll keep PortExplorer in mind, and I'll post back with any response I receive from FDCServers. If I start noticing problems that I can't trace and repair myself, I know where to place a HijackThis log.

Thanks again.
