Anonymous user logging into my computer

[Help Me.]

My event viewer indicates that an anonymous user is
logging into my computer via my cable modem. How can I
prevent this or find out who this asswipe is?

Either put a firewall up at your cable modem. Even the nat devices you can buy at
Best Buy for $19 after rebates will go a long way to protect you or enable the built
in ICF firewall in XP. If you don't need to share files and printers, it also makes
sense to disable it on your network adapter connected to the internet. Go to
