390 is not, nor has it ever been an extension on my box. I've gotten the same message for numerous extensions, sometimes 100-200 inclusive, usually multiple times as if they are trying multiple passwords.  I'm sure that no one will ever guess an extension or password on my box that way so I'm not worried, I've blocked most of the IPs that my box doesn't use and it's been a long time since I've seen any outside attempts to register. But in the recent past I've been seeing these where I've no clue what IP to block as the entries, sip:390 at xx.xx.xxx.xxx, always contains an invalid extension and my cable modem's IP address.

xx.xx.xxx.xxx is my public I.P.

I searched Google and found no mention of my specific error.
