since i installed mcaffee firewall i get this message 'Blocked incoming TCP' like every
five minutes even if only the usual w2k stuff running.
does that mean someone is attempting to connect to my comp? i'm not a network guy at all though

don't know about mcaffee... but, i think ZoneAlarm gives you a little bit of information about incoming requests. and it's free.
i used it on my win2k box, but, now i'm on linux so, i cant be for sure how much info it gives you.

Have you used Gnutella or another decentralized p2p network recently? You'll get incoming connections for a long time afterward - sometimes more than a month.
It's nothing to worry about as long as you keep your firewall rules tight and are up to date with security patches and so forth.

Load up zone alarm and check how much memory it takes up. Scary stuff.
