If anyone is has any knowledge on reading logs generated by ZoneAlarm, or how to tell if you are being probed by computers, I might need your help.
Since getting my cable internet service from a major nationwide ISP, I have had Zone Alarm showing an almost constant probing from various computers in TN, MD, VA and MI (I'm in GA). I can read the log and see computer names (I think) and originating IP address as well as MAC addresses of computers. I've pinged a few, and gotten responses when using the computer name I see in the logs. When I ping the IP address though, I don't get a response. I'm wondering if this is possibly an infection on these systems, or if it happens to be someone probing to get into computers, or if it is even possible to tell. I thought at first it might have been the local server contacting my machine to verify a connection or something of that sort, but think at this point I can rule that out, as they are all coming from outside the local area. Just looking to see if anyone has any suggestions or ideas of possible actions to take, until I hear back from my ISP. All probes appear to have been blocked by ZA, but it still is kind of un-nerving... Thomas ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
