Is nowhere safe?

Well here I am sitting on the loo at home with my newly installed wireless lan. I've been tinkering with settings. Thank goodness that the AirStation's UI is billingual Japanese and English. I'm not really sure what all the settings mean yet but that's great. It's like a new toy a Christmas that holds your attention until you figure out all the things it can do.

Anyway, here I am about to finish up and suddenly the attack warning box pops up and tells me that I am undergoing a TCP SYN FLOOD from 69.42.65.2 which when tracert'd looks like it is a wireless network in JFK New York. C'mon leave a man alone when he's on the loo.

I suspect that I'm going to turn that warning off soon...
