Could this be a hacker? please help.

hi, i am using ZoneAlarm security, and it says in a pop up in my task tray "The firewall has blocked Internet access to your computer (NetBIOS Session) from home-2ab802803f (192.168.1.46) (TCP Port 1828) (TCP Flags:S)" could this be a hacker? If so, what can i do to stop it? (I have seen this about 3 times already in just one hour) thank you very much

I would doubt it very much. It sounds like you have configured Zone Alarm incorrectly. I dont use ZA so see here (http://forums.zonelabs.com/zonelabs/board/message?board.id=cfg&message.id=38086) for more help.

Transferring to the Applications Forum.

It's quite possible Terlain888 but as I said, I dont use Zone Alarm so I cant help you with configuration issues.

[Terlain888]

oh ok, I'm sorry about that.

Hi there, that IP address is a local LAN address so is likely your sister's PC.

What version of Zone Alarm are you using?
How are you sharing the internet?

No need to apologise. :) Perhaps someone else will help you with this but if not, try the dedicated Zone Alarm Forum for more help.

*Edit* Thanks smurfy. :)

sorry, i dont know much about computers. But i am using the newest ZA version, i just downloaded it today. And my sister bought the router from Verizon when she signed up for the plan. I guess, its just my sister using the computer thats making the IP thing pop up cause, she just stopped using her computer, and the popups have stopped. Well, thank you very much anyways Smurfy and AnnMarie :happy:
