Hi,
i have ADSL on windows XP with zone alarm. Some I face problem to access inetrnet (it displays unknown category). So I disable for some time. The same time some body trying to hack my machine. I got this in event viewer. Is there any tool which logs from which Ip address trying to hack?

Regards,
Subhasha

Windows XP has a built in firewall. it also creates a pretty good log.

to help secure against hackers do the following,

enable the XP fire and remove zone (the XP fire is fine)

go into local security polciys in the control panel, and find the user right "access this computer from the network" and remove all groups except administrators.

this controls access to your machine.

and fully patch, those 3 things will really help u, not only agaist hackers but against network worms also.

Nortons Personal Firewall, It logs everything and alerts you to when an active attack happens and automatically blocks the source from communicating with your PC for twenty or so minutes.
