OK. I think I got it.

I was using a text program that I had setup with an included FTP client that I could use to log into my web site and work on files. The firewall had given it access. I removed the program from the firewall.

Now my router is blocking the incoming UDP to my ports again. I am HOPING that this is what was the problem. I shall have to monitor the log a bit and see. I do see that the china guy tried to probe that port agin, and was blocked. So hopefully that is done with.

Could a program such as this open the FTP port and leave it wide open like that? Even when I am not using it?

And is there a way to see this in action, or look at a log to see what happened?

Thanks for the help. I come here all the time and read almost everthing that I can. Great site!
