I always have these notifications from my firewall:

"NetBIOS Name from 65.in-addr.arpa (65.178.138.112) (UDP Port 1025)"
These are the times it tryed to access my computer:
3:55:08
4:12:50
4:20:20
4:48:02
4:48:04
4:50:14

And then this coms up from my firewall: "Generic Host Process from Win32 Service [trys] to act as a server"

Does anyone know what these mean or what they are? well, i know the last one is a generic host process from win32, but that doesn't do much... :p

"Generic Host Process from Win32 Service", from what i understand, is a service used for some DNS queries. you need this if you want to do things over the net! there is a slight chance it may be a trojan, not likely though.

I'm not familiar with a system Service called "trys" -- do you have it running in your active tasks/proceses? -- should it?

What firewall are you running? In many cases, firewalls will detect attacks by your ISP when they are refreshing contact with your Modem so (in most cases) it shouldnt be a problem (if that happens to be the case)

Well, i haven't known what it has been so i have not been letting access. My firewall just ran out of the free stage of the softwere and it's asking for money so i'm not using it anymore.

If i need it to access the internet, then why have been searching the net? How did i post when it was happening?

i don't know a whole lot about this service. i don't think it is used to resolve all DNS queries but it may be used for some.
