I thought Arpa was dead?

[Honor to BackRub]

Hi guys. I got a hit from this
Old style Arpanet (arpa)

Is somebody playing around or has the old dragon woken up again? or has Arpa never closed down?

Anyway it caused a smile! (those where the days)

Yeah, I get the odd IP that translates as Arpanet as well. I guess there must be some very old servers plugged into the system somewhere.

I"ve gotten a few in the last couple months too. Both came in on a Windows 98, if that's of any interest.

It's either a lingering data server someplace or someone's got a sense of humor.

Got another one today. Recording this here for future reference, I guess. I misspoke when I said they both came in on a Windows 98. The first one did.

The second one's UA was "HTTP agent" only.

And today's UA was "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461; Hotbar 4.2.6.0; MSN 6.1; MSNbMSFT; MSNmen-us; MSNczz; MSNc22)" and it had qwest.net. in the middle of the IP string.

Unable to resolve any of the IP's.

I had this show up in my logs: 117.133.250.66.in-addr.arpa. It accessed a high percentage of my pages. When I Googled the IP address, two hits came up. One was in a guestbook and said the browser was : Mac Finder 1.0.39.
