Zone Alarm Alerts

I am getting a lot of Alerts from Zone Alarm on my wireless notebook computer. It is blocking the Alerts, but I am wondering what is going on.

I am running Windows XP Home on my desktop and Windows XP Pro on my notebook. I have Zone Alarm Ver.5.5 on both. I have set the trusted zones on both.

They are connected by a Linksys Wireless Access Point and the desktop is connected to the internet via a Linksys router. Both can access the internet and can access shared files on the other. The notebook can print on the desktop's printer.

The alerts say that Zone Alarm has blocked Internet access to your computer (NetBIOS Session) from 169.254.51.219. TCP Port differs - sometines 139, or

1150, or 1169, etc

Can anyone tell me why the notebook gets the alerts, but the desktop does not?

Thanks. C and A Bredt
