Remote Access event ID 20158 and 20159

D

Running XP Home with an always on DSL connection
(firewalled

Upon reviewing my System event log I have discovered an
Information event ID 20158 Source: RemoteAccess
Description: "The user User Name successfully established
a connection to The Internet(2) using device IRDA10-1."
and then a while later I have a log entry ID 20159
Source: Remote Access and Descrption: "The connection to
the Internet(2) made by user User Name using device
IRDA10-1 was disconnected."

This has happened about 10 to 15 times over the last
month with the connection time varying.

I do not have an Infared device on my computer nor does
one appear in my device manager. I cannot find a user
account called User Name in my Users folder.

I am assuming this is an attempt by someone to gain
access to my computer but I am not sure. Since it is
showing up as an information log in my system directory I
am not sure what to make of it.

Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks
