Frank,
You hit the nail righton the head. Only problem is that Netscape 6.1 on a
windows machine was/is the problem. I don't know specifically why, but
when ever I attempted to connect to that server using that client from a
windows machine PortSentry would treat it as though it were being scanned
and enter the IP address into the hosts.deny file.
