every time i turn on my PC.. my zonealarm firewall gives this message: The firewall has blocked internet access to 192.168.2.1 (DNS) access from your computer.... what does this mean? if i click more info it says that its nothing to worry about and there is no immediate danger...but does anyone have any idea what this means? i get it everytime windows starts

Do you have any other computer attached to your network?

192.168.~~~~ is a private IP meaning its orginating from your network.

yes i have 2 other pcs on my network. they are both dell optiplexes that my dad needs for work. is this message a problem? what should i do?

[Ste]

What are the other IP's of those computers?

It shouldn't be a problem.

[biggjoee5790]

how do i find the IP's of the other PC's? also what would i do with them when i find them?

[Ste]

On the other PC's you would go Run>cmd

In the window Type
ipconfig

hit enter

says it right next to Ip address.

wtf?

It means that your other computer is trying to connect or send data to that computer. As to why its trying to do this I have no idea.

You could configure zone alarm to allow it, but How is your network setup?

What is your router model?

my network setup is simple.. i have a mototrola cable modem.. that goes in to my router (the router is a belkin) then.. on the network i have the pc in my sig.. and 2 other dell optiplexes.. my dad and my sisters
