NIS2004 told me a remote computer at ip 0.0.0.0 is trying to access my
computer, and asked if it should allow it.  I'm thinking that is probably
just the dsl modem and I should allow it.  Can anyone confirm or instruct?

So is this the wrong newsgroup, or does no one know the answer?

I do not know NIS2004, but the rule of thumb that makes the most sense to me
is:
When in doubt, block it.
If things (access) still work then you are good, if it don't work, then you
try allowing it.
