Problem!
Inbound Protection:
The Firewall has blocked ___ access atemps.
(the number __ is going up very fast every second!)Now i checked in log and it says a whole bunch of things are trying to access port 6881. I need this to stop!

What are you wanting to stop?
ZA from alerting you or the application or whatever is attempting to contact you?Did you look to see what it is? Is it possibly an update that you have some application asking for?
Are you running XP Service Pack 2 (hopefully)?

Im glad zone alarm is blocking it! but i dont want it to happen in the fist place...
It says... Rating: Medium, Type:Firewall, Proticol: TCP (flag:s), Source: ___________(ip)+ port, Direction: Incoming, Action Taken: Blocked
I do have Sp2.
I just want my computer to be safe. Even without Zone Alarm running. I dont want any access atempts

>> I just want my computer to be safe. Even without Zone Alarm running. <<
My dear old mother, God bless her, always used to say that nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it. However, she obviously never tried running a computer on the Internet without a firewall and still remain safe.
This is one thing that is absolutley impossible. Your computer needs a firewall just as much as it needs a source of electricity.

But why does my computer have these access atemps and my other computer on my network does not? Is there anyway to make my computer "not there" to these people or scripts trying to access my computer?

These access attempts may even be your own network?
I'm not sure who/what uses port 6881?Which version of ZA are you using?
Tt Lanfire
MSI K8N Diamond
AMD64 3000+'Winnie'
1gb pc4400
OCZ Powerstream 520w
6600GT
WDCaviar 160gb sata
WDCaviar 160gb sata;~}

I dont beleive the access atempts are on my network because the source ip is not my network.
I have no clue about port 6881
And i am using ZoneAlarm Security Suite version:5.5.094.000

Port 6881 is used by BitTorrent.
Some computer out there is using BitTorrent to download files, and they're polling your computer to get parts of the file. This is not some malicious attack.Do you have BitTorrent installed?

I use Azureus (or something like that) Uses Java... So i uninstalled Java and some still are comming in on port 6881
