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

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.

No problem, glad you enjoy the forum - stick around, there are plenty of helpful & friendly folk around here & you can be sure of help & advice on a vast array of subjects - not just computers.

Re: your port scans, have you run an adware/spyware scan using Adaware or Spybot (easily found with google if you havn't got either) on your PC's, as even though the firewall appears to be working, you cannot be too careful
