What uses TCP port 1214?

[Technoid]

I am being slagged by a lot of computers trying to acces port 1214...

Does anyone know whats those i***ts think im having running on that port??

Don't worry that port is used by Kazaa (Morpheus) file sharing program. If you are worried check this thread http://forums.murc.ws/showthread.php...5&pagenumber=1 from a few days ago on how to scan your comp.

My friend recently asked me for help on this.
His cable modem provider wouldn't assign him
a new IP till the end of the month, and he
was getting hit so hard he thought he was
being attacked by a hacker.

Here was my response:

You were not attacked.
Rather, you selected "SuperNode" when setting up Morpheus.

What is a SuperNode?
Go to <a href="http://www.openp2p.com/pub/a/p2p/2001/07/02/morpheus.html?page=2">this page</a> and search for "1214" -- read carefully.

Done reading how SuperNodes work?
Now try this:

1. Install Morpheus again, select Tools > Options > Traffic.
Set both downloads and uploads to "1".
Check the box "disable sharing of files with other members."
Select Tools > Options > Advanced.
Set the maximum bandwidth for uploads to "24"
Check the box "Do not function as a SuperNode"
2. Keep Morpheus running for awhile.
3. When your lease expires, uninstall Morpheus.

If you want a good file sharing program, try <a href="http://www.winmx.com">WinMX</a> instead.

Yes, I was thinking it might be something like this.....

Pretty shure I got "Supernode" disabled....

And the only way to get a new ip number from my ISP is to do something that requires me to have a static ip.....

Then they will start to change it daily
