Does pinging that name give an IP address of either 127.0.0.1 or whatever is assigned to your primary network adapter?

No idea. How would I ping something first of all? :blink:

And I don't have a network, nor do I have a printer. There is no reason XP should use that file first of all, even more suspicious that it started some days ago and never seen it active ever since I got that computer.

Open command prompt ( start >> run >> then type CMD ) and then ping whatewer!

ex.

ping www.yahoo.com
ping localhost
....

Did the little excercice and it seems like that proprio thing is really from my own IP. Now, strange thing, all those attemps on my ZA says that those attemps were inbound (entering) and not outbound (trying to get access to internet).

I don't know much about these things, but the only logical answer to this would be that a program on my own computer is trying to have access on another program on my own computer via internet after sending packets which are either not detected by ZA or already allowed by it..? :blink:

I don't have a ZA alarm on this PC (works laptop), but I'll check that at home. I installed ZA last night. As soon as I installed some programs were trying to connect domain controller and other stuff. That's usuall stuff with XP...
