Is this anything to be concerned about:

We have put zone alarm pro on the laptop and to connect it to the net we just unplugged the main pc wire and put it into the laptop weve done it lots of times before on the laptop that as stolen but never got that message (this is different loaned laptop).

After connecting t the net a window appeared rom zone alarm pro saying new network an ip address and subnet mast numbers all in same line, it said do you want o add it to trusted zone I put yes

I have looked in zone alarm settings and in the internet bit it says in the list 2 trusted things

this one is listed as 'NEW NEWORK' - IP ADDRESS SITE has the long number(ip address and sub mast together) ENTRY TYPE 'Network' and ZONE 'Trusted'

The other one just says NAME 'Loopback adaptor' IP ADDRESS SITE 'numbers' ENTRY TYPE 'IP Address' ZONE 'Trusted'

Is his ok and normal or should I Edit it and not allow one of them?
Thanx

    Yes that is normal. The Loopback adaptor is your PC (trusted zone) and the one with the IP (Internet Zone) is your net connection or router etc. You can edit the name of this connection if you wish.
