Troubleshooting

After installing Who's There? I try to run it, but it complains that there's a problem trying to access or save its serial number.


I know my firewall's log file contains data, but nothing is displayed in the main window of Who's There?


The data displayed does not go as far back in time as I think it should.


Who's There? is not displaying certain data in my log file. (12, Features)


Who's There? is displaying only denied connection attempts, but I know there have been some connections allowed. (12, Firewall Basics, Features)


Sometimes the location indicated in the map does not match the location in the WHOIS lookup.


I notice attempts to services on my machine, from my machine, but I know I haven't made them.


I sent an email to a network administrator, and it was returned as undeliverable. (13, Investigating and Reporting Suspicious Activity)
