hello,

i am running the free edition 4.1.2

recently while i'm at home, i have noticed in my logs that IP's that i do not recognize are trying to access my PC w/o my permission. i have the password configured and also have it set to prompt local user to accept incoming connections. when these IP's try and connect, i am NOT being prompted to accept the connection. however, in my logs, it says that the vnc connection was successfully accepted.

i have no doubt that this is the work of a hacker. my question is, how do i keep them out of my pc? i use dsl so i'm not sure if i can get my home IP changed. i have a wireless router and have closed port 5900. i just looking for suggestions on how i can keep these people OUT.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
