Need help with something from Zone Alarm

[geno]

Got it for my friend after he received a thread of "being hacked" (the kid's a moron but you never know). Now he's getting multiple accesses from a single IP and it's trying different ports. Is there an explanation for this or could it be this kid trying a port scan?

Could be anything..
Have him trace the IP.
If he has broadband, its probably his cable company scanning for him.
If its someone's address, let us know..

He's on a school Lan, I tried tracing the IP (129.63.199.122), and it's untracable, unpingable and unreachable (probably behind a firewall and has these things blocked)

He's probably just scanning with Sub7 or some such thing.

CR, how'd you grab that info?
