They have a class A, how many damn ip addresses do they need?
Well,..when the trafic starts to overload in one network, they can subnet off and keep things at a managable level. This realy cuts into the # of available IP addresses. If they are aiming at millions of customers, a class A gets chewed up prety quickly, thus DHCP scopes.
If you shut down your system for a day or so, you would probly get a diferent address, as long as your old one has been reasigned in the mean time. that's how it works. It allows them to keep a smaller base of IP's for a larger base of users. also facilitates subneting when trafic gets too heavy on one network.
I'm not complaning that excite should provide a firewall, but when i was set up. they never mentioned anything about it at all. I know better, but there are a lot of people that don't
You might want to check the IP of the attacks, I was getting about 30 or so a day until I found out most of them were just pings from the provider asking to renew the lease on the IP
FYI: the DHCP lease times on cable providers (Roadrunner anyway) is about 2 hours. Anyone running firewall will see a ping from them about once an hour or so to see if your still there. When I asked them, they said they needed to "up" the time to 2 hrs 'cause the "network" folks were screaming about the corporate mandated 15 MINUTE LEASE TIMES. cna you say ping nightmare?
OK, I know I'm going to hear a lot of crap about import laws, transport cost, the weight of an unladen north american swalow and all that, but why is anime so F**kin expansive compared to regular movies? in our local market, say, Suncoast Video, anime on DVD is usualy about $10 more per than any other DVD's. If it's transport cost, couldent they just ship ONE copy over and mas-copy them here? Price fixing? Or is the anime market in this crapy midwest town just so thin that they have to jack the prices?
Hmm, More government sucks
Less government good
No government=anarchy
People as the government? that's all I need, my jackoff neighbors deciding the zoning laws and speed limits. anyone who can park a van and take 3 spots should not be making decisions.
"If you're walking on the beach and you discover a watch in the sand, you won't assume that randome processes and time caused this watch to appear."
No, I would think some sinner had lost their watch, doomed to wander the earth for an eternity without knowing the time... Where was his god then? WHERE???????
I'll go with the Big Bang. After an extensive Luthern upbringing, I sudenly realised in, oh, about 6'th grade that hey, these people realy believe this stuff. Just blew me away. It's been a darwin-esk life for me ever since.
for a change, I may actualy vote this time. The race is close enough that the extra votes could make a diference. Both the candidates are a little nuts, but Gore is the bad-crazy kind of nuts where Bush is the bumbling-nuts. Gore's stand on the enviorment is laudable, but rather too extreme for my point of view.
hmmmm, sound like, in order: wire fraud, theft, slander...
would be nice if someone wrote some laws to cover that stuf. Wait a minute..... we HAVE laws for that,....be nice if someone enforced them sometime......
refer to the article, they are just "consulting" or something like that. the idea is to get these policys implemented overseas, thus giving them a foothold to implement policy in the US
it only makes software/hardware illegal if it used illegally
thats just like saying that they are outlawing hammers if the hammer is used illegaly. stupid and pointless. how about making the illegal USE of these tools and hardware illegal.
Criminalize the production, sale, distribution or otherwise making available of devices or computer programs who's primary use is to access, intercept or interfere with computer systems or communications;
I would just like to point out that http (web sites) are a method of accessing other computers. So will this mean that the internet is illegal?????? What about e-comerce???
Didn't I read somewhere that buckyballs, being almost perfectly round, would make a perfect molecular lubricant? Imagine micro motors that could run infinitely fast without burning out.
Ya know, lately I have been having these feelings of uncertainty about the potential health effects of the radiation our bodies are forced to absorb every day. Back in the 1920's-1930's Television was a dream and radio was, what, 10-100W transmitters? Not much ambient radiation. Flash to now. We have local TV, radio transmitters, cell phones, bluetooth, wireless LANs, Microwave transmitters, and satellite. Not to mention CRT screens, television screens, CB radios.... You get the idea. How is all this affecting us? Are the cancer rates any higher? I know teenagers appear dumber, but that's just observation. Are we going to be forced, some day in the future, to set up RF free zones for sensitive people?

Then you must have a static IP asigned to the MAC address of your modem. It dosen't nessesarily have to be set on your system.
Probly ping requests from Excite themselves looking to renew the DHCP lease. send the log in and see what they have to say.

Boy, I'd shure like to see a Beowulf cluster of these!

Remember people, we do need laws to govern the online world.
No, we don't

Is it that obvious?
You will never, never, never, get me out of it. screw crack...try VR....
Yah, but the FUNCTION would be the same. Store data. access times would not be a concern any more..........

"What's so special about Wireless LAN's as opposed to normal (Wirefull?) LAN's?
I would guess the lack of wires?
