Jim, I googled before I did this posting, and I have read Microsoft's
help listings, as well. There is only one line in all of the data
which applies to my case: "Repeated error messages such as this
indicate someone is attempting to logon or find passwords by using
"dictionary".

No were can I find what I should do about these attempts. Maybe there
isn't anything I can do, but couldn't Microsoft just say so?

Another questions is: Is there a site where these attempts should be
reported?

Thank you.
