Computer forensics after a break in is much harder to do than what you asked in your previous question. Stopping an intruder is a matter of installing and configuring the right software. To track a cracker (the correct term is crack, NOT hack) you have to be able to interpret system logs and know that most likely the intruder has cracked your system from another cracked system. Add to this that there are dozens of different ways to crack a computer (especially a home users computer), unless someone who knows what to look for has full access to your computer (and network) then there is really no way to tell you what to look for with any certainty.
Sorry.

Just install a keylogger on your system like XPCSPY protect it with a strong password.
So when someone logs in and users your system. You would know what exactly he has done and types.
Install a packet capture software like Iris Network Traffic analyser and keep it running so when ever someone connects to your PC his IP address would be recorded.
Cheers. If you still need some clarifications please get back to me.

Trend Micro Pc Cillin 2007 will trace all attacks on your computer. It records the type of attack and their IP address.
Their IP address may not be really theirs because they step from one computer to another to cover their tracks.

you should have a software that when it realises that system is being hacked it will note down the details of what is trying to hack in.
