Because of the way Code Red II spreads, each of us will see many attacks
coming from neighbors on our same ISP.
MANY people have said this seems to hit cable modems the worst.  All
that means is those people reporting such are on Cable modems.  I have
spent some time logged on to each of five ISP accounts, and each one,
from the moment I log on, begins to be attacked by other users of that
ISP.

I'm sure you've seen this, but just a reminder:

pick a number from 1 to 8:

1 - Attack a random IP address (1-223*).(1-254).(1-254).(1-254)
2,3,4 - Attack your own Class A (yourIP).(1-254).(1-254).(1-254)
5,6,7,8 - Attack your own Class B (yourIP).(yourIP).(1-254).(1-254)

Basically, if you are on a "large" ISP, infected hosts on your ISP have
a 50% or 87.5% chance they will infect a "neighbor" such as yourself,
rather than an "outsider".

During my monitoring last night I was "attacked" over 300 times.  Only
22 of the attacks came from outside my Class A or Class B.

* - Why 223?  Because the numbers beginning with 224-239 are reserved by
ICANN for future use.
      The numbers 240-254 are unused.
