I have my Sygate Personal Firewall set to ask me if Generic Host Processes t
ries to connect to the Internet.  Yesterday it prompted me that armyg1.army.
mil is trying to connect to Generic Host Processes.  Now, I don't work for t
he military or anything like that.  I denied the request.  A few minutes lat
er it asked again.  I did a Whois lookup on armyg1.XXXXXXXXX and came up with
 this:

143.84.99.16
Host unreachable

143.84.0.0 - 143.84.255.255

Headquarters, USAAISC
NETC-ANC CONUS TNOSC
Ft Huachuca
AZ
85613
United States

Cartagena, Lina
+1-800-305-3036
CARTAGENAA@hqasc.XXXXXXXXX
Bates, Joan
+1-520-538-1234
domain-request@aims7.XXXXXXXXX

NS01.XXXXXXXXX
NS02.XXXXXXXXX

I called the "800" number on this and a guy answered "I.T.".  I told him of 
the issue that I experienced and all he said was: "that IP is part of our pr
oxy range and our RC guys might have hit a proxy box."  "IT is nothing to wo
rry about okay sir?"

I this goofy or what?  I did some research and Ft Huachuca is the head of Army intellig
ence and also has a huge IT branch.  I also found a site that Lockheed Martin is involv
ed with an Electronic warfare program at Ft Hauchuca: http://www.it.lockheedmartin
.../FtHuachuca.cfm

I'm a pretty straight and narrow guy.  I mainly google search for school and
 check my e-mail.  What does this mean?

Probably nothing unless it keeps happening, but even then it could be like
the IT person told you.

They are probably right, all sorts of traffic 'arrives at your front
door' by accident. Good job you're not a paranoid conspiracy theorist
isn't it?
