Wingate 6.1.1 OS Win2000 Pro
SOCKS proxy server is stopped
In ENS Internet to Wingate Port 1080 TCP and UDP is deny
and I continue to receive:
Wingate firewall hit report:

Time: 13/04/2006 17:03:07
Reason: Port Range
Source MAC address: 00-09-B7-5F-D5-B9
Destination MAC address: 00-E0-4C-C9-9F-C1
Source IP Address: 221.139.1.231 : 1306
Destination IP Address: 192.168.5.1 : 1080
Protocol: TCP
TCP flags: S

Why??

there are scanners out there that scan ranges of IPs regularly for open SOCKS servers, so that looks like a probe attempt.

There's nothing you can do about it, it's someone on the net trying to access your computer, the reason it is showing in the firewall window is because WinGate is blocking it - protecting you from it.

Thank you very much.

What is the signification of the flag S, R, RA.....

These are TCP flags:

S - SYN packet - the initial packet of TCP connection establishment
R - Reset - connection termination
