    Hi,

    I have Zone Alarm Pro and I have been getting this security alert - The firewall has blocked access to your computer (NetBIOS Name) from 10.0.0.2 (NetBIOS Name). It does not give me any option to allow or deny, just an OK button to close the message. I beleive that it has something to do with my dsl modem. Or is this a possible hacker attack? Anyone have any ideas what to do, allow it from the alert log, just ignore it or keep blocking it. I also got this message from the free version of zone alarm. Thanks in advance for any answers.

    I believe that is a legit prompt, did you click show more information?

    Yes I did that tonight. I didn't see that button at first. It seems that it might have to do with a LAN it is blocking port 137. My dsl modem is also a router, so I think that is what it is reading. I have more than one pc but I don't share files or printers so I think I can just let zone alarm keep blocking it unless I decide to share things between all my pc's. Other research on the web led me to beleive it might be hacker related. I will continue to use the more info button to make sure it is the same message. Thank you for the reply.

    Your Welcome! At this point I wouldn't worry about it.
