Could not get into server instance

Hi,

I ran Enterprise manager, but I could not get into my
server. It said that it was not running or to check '
the config, which is fine and is Windows Only Authentication.

Here is the weird and scary part. ZoneAlarm had an alert
at the same time. The alert was asking for Management Console
to use USERINIT.EXE to access 192.5.6.30DNS.
This resolves to a.gtld-servers.net which is part of Verisign.
 I refused this outbound access and kept retrying to get into
my server in Enterprise. No luck. I then decided to go ahead
and give outbound access. Next time I tried to get into
my server I was able to.

Does anyone know what's up?

I figured that maybe I should change all my logins?
But, does this show that there is a breach of my system?

There has been another odd thing where WSCRIPT.EXE has
been asking for access to DNS servers. That I keep blocked.
I am pretty sure that is a trojan, but do you think this is this related ?

Thanks for any advice.
