My small home network is hidden behind an RT314 firewall. I'm getting a common message (every couple days) from the firewall, telling me that a particular IP address is trying to access the firewall's public IP address. I have the IP of the machine trying to get in; how do I find out who it belongs to and what do you suggest I do about it? I suppose I could call them, or...


I don't want to escalate a fight, but I'm afraid they're going to keep trying until they get through. I'm not sure how they even found it; I'm running in stealth mode on the address and all ports. I had it tested through the Gibson Research Corporation here:

I'm open to all suggestions, but keep in mind I don't have the time to constantly watch my back either...
Right now it's simply a security issue, and not yet a threat.
