Homealone, - thanks for your reply, it has reassured me that there is nothing to worry about.

This is what Macafee says about scans from pc's on same LAN

"Events can be generated from computers on your local area network (LAN). To show that these events are coming from somewhere "close to home," Personal Firewall displays them in green."

All of the scans that i mentioned are in green, and i believed them to be on the same LAN as per MAcafee.

As you say, my firewall is obviously doing its job, and so in future i will disregard any scans like this.

Thank you once again for your advice, and although this is my first post, i have enjoyed reading the forums for quite a while - and i've learned a fair bit, - very handy being new to pc's.

staffie.
