You're on a Mac, right? You may be interested in a shareware program called WhatRoute that can do DNS look-ups, pings, traces, MX Queries, etc. It should be available at downloads.com or sites like that.

If you're using a broadband connection I'm sure your address is being probed several times a minute by mindless "script kiddies" running bootleg software that hunts for certain well-known backdoors, trojan horse virii, and other easy "ins" they can go back and rub their pimply little members around on if they find them. Unless the same IP is systematically probing several of your ports in a row and seems to be persistent I'd not worry overmuch about it. Bravo for having the firewall! Mark

Thanks all the website address given to me by RCOOK worked perfectly . I am on a broadband cable modem with a MAC G3 and it turns out the "culprit "this time was was my very own ISP, ComCast Communications, running some client ID checks in my node area My high speed service with them ( $39.95 month) has been so rock solid and reliable this year I am Willing to give them a pass this time But the firewall will stay vigilant!!!
