What kind of "attack"??

Get the IP of whoever it is and report it to their ISP. . .

Go here to find out what the ISP is - http://www.netsol.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois

That should give you a starting point.

Are you certain your being attacked are are these just connections blocked by the firewall. There are lots of harmless connections blocked by firewalls as well as people scanning IP ranges for trojans vunrable machines etc etc. If you could post more details of whats been blocked it might help.

Would be a real help if you could tell us what ports the "attacks" are trying to connect to.
I would'nt worry about 5-10 per nite
I on average get around 80-100
Most are just useless internet packets with no-where else to go:D

I'll try to find out what ports are being attacked but it pops up on the firewall as either back door seven, somthing orafice (cant remember the full name ) and trojon things will try to pay more attention and report results

Sub Seven and Back Orifice are very common trojan programs. is it saying you have them on your system, or is someone just looking for them?? It is not uncommon for people to randomly scan ip addresses looking for those trojans on particular ports. Any antivirus program should get rid of both of them for you if you do have them. . .

could it be sub7 + back orafice ?

if so I suggest you goto www.moosoft.com and d/l a trial version of the cleaner and run it on your comp just to be on the safe side
