Sorry. I really had to go. My EZ Firewall says it has blocked 20 intrusions and 11 were high rated. This smurf started when I was on a Harvest Moon website and left my computer on. sorry.

Keep your firewall up, install one or two more if you want to, and just wait until it stops.

Skullsplitter, you really shouldn't talk about what you don't know. DON'T USE TWO FIREWALLS. Ever. It will do nothing but maximize the chance of an invasion. One good firewall will do.

As for the warnings... well, that's normal. Chances are some script kiddie was pinging your network area constanly. There's nothing to worry about when you get warnings. They mean you are SAFE, not the other way around. Run a good virus scanner, keep your firewall up and don't freak out when you get warnings.

So you shouldnt use zone alarm and the windows firewall at the same time?

Using two or more firewalls simultaneously will very likely cause conflicts between the firewalls, dulling its functions and not being very effective at all.
