Same at home.
Everything is closed. Open up IE6 and connect to www.ar15.com. Check the log and my machine is trying to go out to 24.97.83.141 port "distinct - 9999" What is this and do we need it? It appears to be random. Sometimes nothing for 10-15 minutes then a bunch ever few minutes. |

It's just his banner ad system. Look at the source and you'll see "http://www.ar15.com:9999/engine/advertise.html?zid=1&js=1"

Well I think it just started last week. I don't remember seeing them before. Plus this makes it hard to surf at work. There are a billion port 9999 errors on our firewall each day.
ARRRG. Guess trying that other ar15.com host name won't work either if it is the ad's. |

It's been a number of weeks since I've been able to connect from work. I get the top menu (membership, equip. exchange, etc.), but nothing else. Yesterday I did a total take down of my browser settings at work....nada.
I got home tonight and took a peek at the source code and there was the port 9999 staring me in the face. Non-port 80 sites won't go through my firewall at work, so it looks like I'm out of the AR15.com business until I can bribe Goatboy with pictures of goats or something.... :( |

I'm having the same problem at work. At first, I thought they had blocked AR15.com, but now I know it's port 9999 that's keeping me from loading the site. Stinks because I really liked to read messages during the slow times at work.

I don't think GB has seen this post yet. Guess someone could email him and see if anything else can be done.
I'm wondering about an anonymous proxy. Will that solve the 9999 problem or not? |

That is scary... my new boss started Monday and the last one didn't seem to care that I spent time on here.
If this guy is a jerk, this showing up on our firewall monitoring software may set off an alarm and cancel my browsing at work.... No, please don't make me have to dial in on my 33.6 modem.... |

I posted this same question about a month ago and did not get a good answer.

Yeah, I saw that post and made a remark on the source code that address the port.
It seems to me that the first time I encountered this port access is about the time this boards speed came to screeching halt. I watch my ports pretty close. After looking at the packets and based on my limited knowlege it looks benign. But you never know. |

It's possible that there's no work around yet (hopefully it's a "yet"). It's also possible that it's an 'undocumented feature' which will cut my AR15.com usage 98% :( |

For the past few hours I've noticed no Ad's on the top or bottom of the pages. Since I'm not at home I can't tell if I'm still sending out port 9999's.

...did not get a good answer [from GoatBoy]. Trojan? BATF? Carnivore? Paranoia worthy of assaultweb. Look, your machine is connecting to port 9999. If you don't like that, then do something about it.z |

Look, your machine is connecting to port 9999. I only wish it connected on port 9999... ...sniff...sob... It may be that to redesign the ad system back to port 80 around a handful of people may be a major overhaul and not something we're likely to see anytime soon. |

I apologize for my absence been VERY busy and now I am not... well, kinda... [=D]
The Ad server was running on port 9999 for a short time and I guess we made a big oops and forgot to move it back to normal. (This was a temp solution while the server DNS entry propogated.) The ads were moved to a very powerful full featured solution capable of MILLIONS of ads per month with little to no impact on site performance. (A big step up for improving speed!) I'll get out to the servers and kick this to where it should be. I'll dupe this msg in the tech forums so everyone's up to speed. There is no virus, no problem, just a temp fix which got sidetracked into long term fix... [=D] |
