OK, that IP nymber will get you nothing, as it's a block assigned to them, so the real user is further down the line. So, Zone ALarm did it's job and BLOCKED it, so just review your security logs often and make certain your firewall is configured properly. Google Zonelabs on how to do that. Also, if your have cable or DSL, I'd get a router , as it's more secure for always on connections.

um the 192.168.*.* class B is only used on a local network, core internet routers will not route these ip adress. Unless you have somthing fording all ports from your internet connection , this would most prob have come from another computer on your own network. Most likly another windows machine setting up file sharing. post more about how you connect to the internet and local network set-up/cofig for more help i smell a troll

Thanks smeagol , i actually just got my connection at home and i am connected via Senao wirless lan modem on the roof connected down into my usb port. Ever since i got this connection and every hour i get an alret message as mentioned above (raven7.mshome.net) but every time a different name and ip address shows up, some names are : user-10.mshome.net - shadia.mshome.net - loveingu.mshome.net Now I am sure that those are all from my lan becuause their ip is the same as mine, so i am still concerned if all of them are really trying to hack into mine or they are doing something else which is alreting my firewall everytime!!! thank you for any help

Better read the Senao doc about security. Probably your neighbors have wireless too & are getting to your WAP by accident since you have a strong signal. Or they may be doing it on purpose.
