Is ZA saying that "P2P Networking" is wanting to access then Internet?
Do you have some type of P2P installed? If not, you probably have a Trojan calling home do whoever can access your pc.

P2P = Peer to Peer. Commonly refers to file sharing/music sharing programs that allow folks to exchange music or files over the internet. Using P2P programs often leads to nasty infections from viruses/trojans/hijackers and the like. As Stvy says, most likely something on your pc is trying to phone home and is being blocked. Might want to do an online scan at Trendmicro.com. Also, if you haven't already, install and scan with Adaware and Spybot. ZA's firewall will block the connection but you need to use other tools to clean up your system.
