Does it reverse lookup to something sprint-hsd.net?

If so, it's somebody's DSL connection, and it may or may not be (but probab=
ly is)
a dynamic IP.

I'd nmap it and see what OS it is, and if it's Linux or Unix take a shot at
emailing root at that address, maybe you'll get lucky.

Then point them at http://www.elug.org, which is the local Linux User's Gro=
up
in that area, and I'll give 'em a few pointers on firewall setup.

If you'd like to email me privately with the IP, feel free.
