Hi all,

Here is what I want to do. You have a program like zone alarm sitting on your computer. It pops up and tells you if anything is trying to connect or a program is trying to make a connection to the outside.

Now say I have a hardware based firewall so I don't need to worry about incoming connections as the hardware firewall should be doing this for me. I still need to worry about the outgoing connections.

So here is the question, is there any way in VB 2005 to make a program that would alert me when something is trying to connect to the internet? It doesn't even have to block the program or anything like that, just a message saying what is trying to connect and where it is going.

Any ideas?
