I was attempting to forward ports and the instructions suggested to log into 192.168.1.1 You can log into using the username "admin" and "password" as the password, do whatever you need to, but there doesn't seem to be anyplace to log out. Now, zonealarm reports a constant stream of blocked intrusions. Am I vulnerable to attacks or is this okay?

Well if you forwarded ports you should expect traffic to your computer that was previously blocked by the router! Thats what routers do! So if you now see Zone Alarm telling you about "blocked" instrusions it is now blocking the "ports" that you opened in the router!
To know if you are safe or not you need to know why you opened the ports and what traffic should be comming in.. OPEN PORTS are security risks!

As soon as you close the browser you're logged out in most cases, and always change the default login and password!!!!
