I need assistance

Look at this closely, this is the log from my ZoneAlarm ;

The firewall has blocked Internet access to your computer (ICMP Unreachable) from 0.0.0.0.

Occurred: 4 times between 4/18/03 5:58:16 PM and 4/18/03 5:58:38 PM

Please, no more "You are being scanned by god jokes", I really need to know what the hell is going on here, this clown that is trying to scan me, is he spoofing his IP ?

Yes, it's probably a scan with a spoof. Get a router, live behind it, and you don't have to deal with so many attacks.

I agree, scanned with a spoof. Could also be a server worm hitting a scope of IP addys.

Firewalls and Routers help.

Linksys. I currently own 4 of them and have never had a problem. I, of course, could walk you through installation.;)

Well most home routers have decent filtering and protection capabilities.
Personally, I like D-Link, because I got my 614+ for free. :p
Not only that but it has a very well thought out interface and good tech support (at least compared to Linksys).

I'm also a networking n00b but I would recommend Linksys (question is, which model)?

Do you have broadband or dial up?

BEFSR41 (I think that is it). Of course, he may only need a one port router.

Aside from the basics of NAT, a router is only as good as the person configuring it. If you feel like learning you could turn an old hunker computer into one that you could fully configure.

Roger,

I would search FS/FT in the search box for Linksys or router

I found this for cheap (we have a Microsoft WAP love it!)

I give up I'm a failure, no one loves me now :(

will it cheer you up if I let you look at my package again?

I told you that was to remain a secret!!!
 

I have cable internet access, seeing that my little guy has a new PC, I will probably go for a four port Linksys, are they that hard to configure ?

Not at all.
