Many of the people in this forum already do--via Mynetwatchman!

I was going to get to that, but I find it's easier to make them see how annoying and how much of a hassle it is to do this whole thing the first time.
So to make your point you sic him on a poor, defenseless abuse desk?

Maybe we should start sending stuff to you at abuse@cogeco.ca?

Much better is to use the myNetWatchman service, where your firewall logs are submitted to a central server, and summarized logs are sent to the ISPs. This makes it much easier on the ISP because they get everything in one deliverable.

Go into your firewall again, find the log(s) that gets you timestamp, port information (both source and destination) and email that to their abuse contact listed in their ARIN information.
No, please don't: users who don't know how to read firewall logs put an awful burden on abuse departments.

It's free and easy.

Ah... I see soo it should be someone using the actual service then. Where could I get the full log on my pc?
Most likely it's simply a user of theirs that's been scanning you, and your firewall has kindly looked up the administrative contact info for you.

Earthlink won't tell you, that would violate their subscriber confidentiality agreement.

It doesn't really matter, odds are it's simply another worm, virus, or trojan doing it's automated scanning.

Go into your firewall again, find the log(s) that gets you timestamp, port information (both source and destination) and email that to their abuse contact listed in their ARIN information.

oops, I posted the wrong one, anyways that info should be enough right?
No. That's just the ARIN information for Earthlink, ie: how to contact that ISP on an administrative level.

 Someone At Earthlink Trying To Hack Into My PC?

Moments ago I was surfing around the web and all of a sudden I get an alert that someone was trying to access my pc in other words trying to hack into it. Anyways I look through the logs and I found out that it was coming from Earthlink... could it be someone that was actually connected to the service or the actual building that someone was working in.

Anyways here is the log I saved...
I'm becoming very suspicious becuase I never got this ever, especially from a ISP.
