My Zonealarm is going nuts. What\'s the deal?
 

So last night I thought my computer was hacked because I'm insane. Anyways, I installed zonealarm and now I'm REPEATEDLY getting this message:

new-host.-2.home (192.168.1.5) TCP port (xxxxx) (TCP Flags: S)

Yes, I'm allowed to be paranoid because I don't want all my mobnies stolen. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Do you have any other devices on your home network?

The 192.168.1.5 IP address is the address of something else within your network.

I mean I have a router which is hard wired to my roommate's room and hard wired to another router in the living room.

Zone Alarm rates these as high risk. What is it in reality?

I, not an expert, think it's something trying to connect from another PC (or device) on your network.

Either that, or your sweaters totally freak it out. I think, however, that another PC is more likely.
