Hi there,

this is a strange thing, a server from marketwatch.com is regulary
reaching port 0 of my
Internetgateway originating from port 8.
Both ports don't show up in /etc/services and I don't know what they are
good for.
I've blocked port 0 but don't know, wheather it is needed for any other
purpose.
Does anybody know what this can all be about???

Bye Norbert

It's a misconfigured router trying to get a routing table from you.
