Ok I have Norton anit-virus. A message came up like it always does when it blocks an intrusion attempt, so I clicked view details and it says the intruder is my IP address? How can my IP address be trying to intrude itself? I dont understand. Anyone know whats up?

Have you got the exact message esp. the rule used.

Are you sure it was your IP address? If you have a dynamic IP (DHCP) set up, it could have been a former address you once had. With DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), your computer will lease an IP from a DHCP server for a predetermined amount of time. When the lease is up (it lasts about a week, or whatever is set on the server), the address is released and a new one is obtained.

Just an idea.
