"An intrusion attempt by 192.168.0.1 was blocked."
It's pissing me off because they keep trying.
What can I do to prevent this?
I'm tempted to find out their location and send them angry letters.

Depending on how your connection is set up, you either have a noisy router, your network to your Internet router is hosed, or your Windows internal firewall is turned on inappropriately.
That address COULD be a proxy because your Internet Service Provider uses the 192.168 addresses to simulate a class-B network.
Trust me, your "intrusion attempt" should NOT piss you off. What should bother you is if you stop seeing it - and have to then wonder whether they gave up - or succeeded.

Depends on the message. It sounds like you system is picking up firewall events. These are not necessarily attacks on your computer. They may be "normal" events such as your ISP computer system sending a "heartbeat" message to see if you are still connected (if not, it shuts off the connection and uses the IP address for someone else). When I used Norton, I got pretty annoyed with that and disabled the reporting. It is still protecting the computer in the background.

The IP address 192.168.0.1 is a default for some D-Link, Netgear and other home broadband routers and similar types of network equipment. 192.168.0.1 is a private IP address useful on a local home network or business intranet.

That's most likely your router communicating with your PC. So, get upset with your router!
Your firewall needs to know the IP address of your router - check your firewall settings.

192.168.0.1 is usually your own computer or on your network. the whole 192.168 block is reserved for networking and is not an internet IP. It could be your modem or router and you have crappy firewall software.

Everybody is bing pinged for weaknesses. Just keep a good firewall running and don't worry about it. You will be alarmed by a good firewall should a weekness be exploited. I keep my modem nearby and I keep my computer clutter cleaned out.
Cheers !

click properties change ip address to 192.168.1.001

I would enable a firewall and block any P2P file sharing.

1. make sure your windows firewall is on
2. buy a router with a firewall built in

Try a different firewall program.
