what should i do? i've been chatting w/ dalnet & undernet but i dnt have any problem connecting their servers, in the first place i dont use any open proxies. pls help me..thanks!

Are you use you aren't using an open proxy? If you are positive, then it might be people from your NAT (If you have one) which was doing abusive things with the ip. Try asking your ISP if they can change your ip address because your ip is blacklisted. And if you are dial-up, try reconnecting.

open proxies scans usually dont have false positives. the proxy scanner was somehow able to connect back to itself.
remember, if the server was once scanned positive this will be cached and most likely shared among all servers using the that proxy scanner.
PS: if this happens while using dynamic IPs, you can just change your IP, but in case you get akilled again you have proof of the possitive infection (there are some trojan horses, that install open proxies) ^-^.

If you are running any sort of server daemon, especially on a non standard port then it could be getting stuck in that, commonly scanned ports are as follows:

HTTP:80;
HTTP:8080;
HTTP:3128;
HTTP:6588;
SOCKS4:1080;
SOCKS5:1080;
ROUTER:23;
WINGATE:23;
HTTPPOST:80;
HTTP:81;
HTTP:8000;
HTTP:8001;
HTTP:8081;
HTTPPOST:81;
HTTPPOST:6588;
HTTPPOST:4480;
HTTPPOST:8000;
HTTPPOST:8001;
HTTPPOST:8080;
HTTPPOST:8081;
SOCKS4:4914;
SOCKS4:6826;
SOCKS4:7198;
SOCKS4:7366;
SOCKS4:9036;
SOCKS5:4438;
SOCKS5:5104;
SOCKS5:5113;
SOCKS5:5262;
SOCKS5:5634;
SOCKS5:6552;
SOCKS5:6561;
SOCKS5:7464;
SOCKS5:7810;
SOCKS5:8130;
SOCKS5:8148;
SOCKS5:8520;
SOCKS5:8814;
SOCKS5:9100;
SOCKS5:9186;
SOCKS5:9447;
SOCKS5:9578;

Theres a whole lot more than that commonly scanned but I can't be bothered finding the other list.
If you aren't running anything on the above ports then it is possible, unlikely but possible, that mlg.* requires you to have identd running (install/enable identd and forward port 113 to your pc) and reports anyone who doesnt have it as an open proxy.
Other than that, chances are its just an old ban because of your dynamic ip and it may expire soon or you may have to wait for a new ip to be assigned to you.

just as a note:
just having running HTTP doesnt make you been marked as proxy. My Apache gets proxy scans every time I connect, they look like:

Code: Select all

themlg.net - - [15/May/2005:10:26:25 +0200] "CONNECT 64.62.231.143:6667 HTTP/1.0" 405 1257 "-" "-"
themlg.net - - [15/May/2005:10:26:25 +0200] "POST http://64.62.231.143:6667/ HTTP/1.0" 200 2263 "-" "-"

But as you can see... just a response on these ports doesn't mean you will be akilled ^-^.

And i've to notic that you can remove your IP from blacklist here is the sites:
http://www.dnsbl.nl.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml
http://opm.blitzed.org/
http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi
http://www.openrbl.org/

Thanks Rommaster, De Kus, Tim, and TheBeast for your advices and expertise! I really appreciate it...im glad i can join now the network and be able to chat at #phoenix!
