Zone alarm alarm's

Hello,

I am using Zone alarm to protect me from intruders, however I am keep getting these notices saying that zone alarm has stopped someone trying to get to my computer. Her is a three that I have had this morning -

Netbios from 81.214.253.166 (UDP port 1033) time 11=13-08

Netbios from 196.205.185.71 (UDP port 18327) time 11-19-46

Netbois from 74.56.228.155 (UDP port 1032) time 11=24=50

Does anyone know what is going on? I would have thought if it was from my ISP it would be the same address, but it isn't.

Is there software or a site that can find out what these numbers mean?

Any help would be appreciated.

Ian

You don't need to do anything Ian, Zone Alarms is just warning you about what's happening. You will always get attempts to access your computer if it's on line. You can adjust Zone so it doesn't tell you every time. Believe me, there are loads, and it will soon get on your wick.

Hi Hoggett you'll find that most of them are empty address this is what i found about each of them.
The first is from Turkey, second from Egypt & the third from Canada

Don't worry about it was properly some one useing a port scanner this would give that sort of warning when i has nortons firewall on got them all the time aslong as they don't get in then your Zone Alarm is doing it's job.

When it lists the port that where the attempt was made to enter you system.

Thanks Leo, it's just I like to know what is going on with my computer.
