Hey Zombie,
Thanks for the info. I've had a bit more success with neotrace by turning off zone alarm when I'm trying to trace something. However, I didn't know about the right click sub menu so that's a great help.
As an aside I do have the alert log enabled but in the passed week and a half I've only had one (yes one) attempt at getting into my computer. So I've left the pop-up box enabled because I'm geting hardly any pings.
Maybe no-one's interested in what I've got (story of my life!) or maybe it's not set up corectly - any thoughts??
Regards
HP
