Just tell the firewall to block the request permanently.
The firewall is doing what it needs to do - it is detecting an incoming request and it is asking you about it.
Unfortunately, on the Internet, your computer will be scanned and probed hundreds of times a day by people trying to gain access to your computer. Keep your firewall running and updated and you will be fine.
good luck

It means some one is trying to get on your computer from somewhere else, listen to McAfee and go and buy a firewall right now!

Sounds like you don't have to do anything. if the IP address is something like 192.168.1.1, then its your router.
that message says that that particular computer is trying to access yours.
it may be a virus, or spy-ware. run your anti virus and anti spy-ware programs just to be safe.
if you don't find anything and still get that message then type \\(insert IP here) into your web browser (internet explorer, Firefox, whatever) and see if you get anything. chances are you won't, but if you do, then you dialed into another person's computer, most likely without them knowing.

Try getting something like an ad-aware program. this is a program that will detect all the spyware and stuff.you can get it free at download.com just search ad-aware.
