My computer was attacked last night 3 times, but my firewall stopped them. Is there a way to find out who did it using their IP address? :rtfm:

In a roundabout way you can :)

Go here:http://www.arin.net/whois/ and put the offending ip into the "search for" box. That will tell you who owns the netblock of the offending ip - but if it was anyone worth their salt they would never launch an attack from their home box; most likely it was from a compromised pc somewhere.

You got the logs from the firewall? Send them to the offender's ISP - you should get a contact from the whois search - at least that may prevent the compromised pc from attacking others for the moment.

Hope this helps some :)
