I've approached the Orbitz issue a different way and made another suitable way to block him.

The Network Filter is still the best thing around to stop ASD attacks (and other attacks) as it stops anyone launching those attacks at you. The problem is the only program we got the filter working with is WPE Pro. Some people are uncomfortable with this program as it can be used for naughty stuff to, it also sets off some AntiVirus programs which some people are not amused by.

Its because of this I have also made a Jazz 2 Network Blocker. It works with a program called "PeerGuardian" which blocks selected IP addresses. It has a special filter I created which contains Orbitz IP Address. By running this program Orbitz will be blocked from everything on you host on your PC (including JJ2 Games). The problem with this is it doesnt stop anyone else performing attacks on you, and if Orbitz finally managed to change his IP it would need to be updated to work. Its because of this that I wont be promoting this too much, but will provide it for those who are still under constant attack.

You can download it from here: http://nimmy-online.com/jj2networkfilter/peer.zip
Just unzip it all into one location, and run the exe. It will be a icon in your tray when its active.

I hope this helps some of you unable to work with the Network Filter.
Alternative if you have a Firewall or Router with an IP Block feature, you could just add the IP: 24.114.132.155
This is Orbitz current IP I've seen him use. If it changes someone please let me know

Thanks, and get back to enjoying hosting jj2 games.
