ZoneAlarm alerts

[poptom]

I'm on DSL and using ZoneAlarm (not Pro). I haven't turned off the alert pop-up window because it usually doesn't bother me but tonight it's showing up about every ten seconds.

Does this mean anything?

[poptom]

Hell, I just left the little window open and now it shows 39 alerts since my last post.

I had a 56k expirience like that before. It was a P2P program doing something crazy. But if you feel good about your AV it shouldnt be nothing, are they timeouts? or what?

[poptom]

Dunno what it's doing. ZA is blocking them. They're all coming from different IP's and all hitting my port 6346. I have NAV 2001.

Still happening. Up to 64 alerts now.

Port Scans From Port 6346-6348


If you are receiving port scans on port 6346, 6347 and 6348 it is most likely that you are not being attacked. The Gnutella Network that currently uses programs such as Limewire and Bearshare, attempts to connect computers together through port 6346, 6347 or 6348.

If using DHCP, your computer's IP address may change every 24 hours, allowing the IP address to be obtained by another computer user. If a Internet user using these programs has saved your IP address, when they attempt to logon to use these programs, the programs will attempt to make contact with the IP address. If the IP address has been released and renewed by another user, then it may appear in the firewall log as an attack on your system.

For more information about the Gnutella Network please visit Limewire. You may also wish to understand what the Gnutella protocal is and how it works. Please visit Gnutella FAQ's .

Thank you blebs99.
It's up to 344 now. I think I'll just close that window.
