More than likely, nothing good. I have a similar situation with my DSL connection & Sonic Wall black
box. Even if my computer is off for awhile, and I've forgotten to turn off the DSL router and SW device,
the activity lights will flicker, whether I'm there to notice it or not. Later, when reviewing the SW
activity log, I'll find some possible Netbus attacks dropped, or things of that nature. I guess the
hackers have no idea if your system is on or not, so long as a decent firewall is shielding it.
