IP AddressI'm setting up a new firewall and it is asking me to name a network IP
address that it recoginized. How do I determine the host of the IP address that it is asking me to name?

I am setting it up on a new laptop and ZoneAlarm
has given me notice that an IP is showing up as a new network (it gives me the IP address). It is asking if I want to accept it as a new allowable network. I am on a wireles network with 4 computers and I want would like to know if the device that the IP address is referring to is one of mine or perhaps one of my neighbors.

Anyone can set any IP address and the consumer routers assign private IP addresses that can be change easily. Connect to your router via ethernet cable, setup wireless security, use a unique SSID for your wireless network and then you can be sure to connect to your router and not your neighbors. The IP network which ZA will pop up is yours. Otherwise you have to check the MAC address of the device connected to verify if it is your router or not. But the MAC addresses can also be forged easliy in most consumer routers... In cae you allow your neighbors to use your internet connection any effort is useless. IP addresses are no mean of protection in a LAN and ZA won't help you there if you want your computer to be open to your computers and not to others (unless you set up a VPN...) Gerald
