Tuesday morning I could not get on line or get connected with Outlook for Email. My wife & I are networked & share the comcast cable. Up until now everything was fine, no roblems. 2 days before my problem she installed a new firewall on her computer. I don't know if this has anything to do with my not being able to get online but it seems a little suspect. I want to know my IP address because she can see when her computer gets pinged. If it's mine doin the pinging we should be able to un-block me & I'll have access again. We are networked thru her computer.
Anyone got any ideas? ........b ps. online from work! <_< |

QUOTE Posted on Jul 28 2004, 06:02 PM a far less aggrevating way to handle this is to buy a hardware firewall/router, which are cheap ($30-60), from a vendor like Linksys or Netgear, and are nearly self-configuring these days. QUOTE Posted on Jul 28 2004, 06:25 PM Software fiewalls are crap, get yourself a linksys broadband router and turn it on and be done with it, trash the software firewall, they are more trouble than they are worth. QUOTE Posted on Jul 28 2004, 05:40 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to the start menu click on run. Type "cmd" then enter. at the command prompt thpe "ipconfig" then enter. All of your IP settings will be displayed. Thanks guys and thanks to Sean too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I finally called Comcast and this nice Lady with a SUPER nice hispanic accent did what all of you said. ... START/RUN/ ipconfig... disconnect LINKSYS & go direct then back again. She got me up & runnin. It's just like working on the 914. Once you do something you don't forget & I got this written down! (prolly fergit it by mornin tho!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ..........b |
