Truckz -> IP address problems (6/19/2005 12:27:13)

ok, i understand most software and in-the-computer things, but im not too educated on the outside, hardware things. So im alittle lost on what to do.

Today when i got on my computer zonealarm alerts me that a new IP address is trying to access the internet, i cancel, not knowing what it is. Well it seems that zonealarm canceled my actual IP Address. Well, i shutdown zonealarm, and tried to renew it. It failed. I tried recreating my connection with my other computers, no good. I use roadrunner. And i have a netgear wireless modem. I have Windows XP home edition. I looked on the internet and people talked about DHDC(or something close) but i had no idea what they were talking about [;)]. What can i do so i can reconnect back to the internet and back to my other computers? (btw it was one of the branched off computers of the connection, not the main one. The main one, and my xbox works fine.)

help! And be patient with me [:o]

- Only person that can cancel your IP is your ISP...

If you are talking about how ZA blocks an IP address/network, you can always open up the configuration and find the network/IP and put it in the "Allow" stage.



Truckz -> RE: IP address problems (6/19/2005 23:46:51)

well now after feeling like a complete idiot, i fixed it by simply turning the modem off and back on and accepting the IP address with zone alarm! Thanks for being there to help, and sorry for wasting your time, you can delete this thread.

1. Not going to delete the thread as it may help someone else.

2. Don't panic, we all feel like idiots occasionally and it's nice to see it's not me for a change! [:D]

Ok I am ok with computers as long as it doesn't go to deep then i lose it but anyway I was in yahoo chat everything was working fine. But now when I am able to get on which is hardly ever it says someone is copying my ip address so i get out just as fast and shut everything down. I have a main computer hooked up to a network with a laptop that is wireless they both are saying the same thing. please help

Hi and Welcome to Outfront

Have you inadvertantly configured both to use the same IP address? It's easy to check: turn one of them off and see if the message goes away. If it does, turn the other back on and see if it returns.



nsmalley -> RE: IP address problems (10/17/2005 15:29:59)

no i shut the main on off and used my laptop but still it will not load up yahoo chat and when i click on the alternate version it says to upgrade but i have already did that. But when it finally does load the chat the actual messages on the page it will not let me say anything and then at the top by the room name it say's my ip address is being copied. no idea why they but braille on drive thurs

Does it say "copied" or does it say "a duplicate"?

Can you check either machine for the TCP/IP configurations? Are the IP addresses hardcoded or is it set to "automatically get IP address"?



dpf -> RE: IP address problems (10/17/2005 15:37:26)

does it happen anywhere other than yahoo chat?



nsmalley -> RE: IP address problems (10/17/2005 15:51:27)

it says it is being recorded how do i check if it is hardcoded or is it set to "automatically get IP address". It doesn't happen anywhere else but i really do not go to any other chat room except yahoo. I do take some online classes but it has not messed with that in anyway. Only seems to be on yahoo.

is that what it says? maybe just that yahoo chat is recording your ip address - not a big thing



nsmalley -> RE: IP address problems (10/17/2005 15:56:04)

yeah but it will not let me type anything and it hardly ever loads a chat room and since it started when i noticed that it is leading me to assume something is wrong.



nsmalley -> RE: IP address problems (10/17/2005 15:58:54)

Sounds to me like some malware or exploit has infected your computer. Have you run any spyware / virus checkers?



nsmalley -> RE: IP address problems (10/17/2005 16:05:51)

I use sbc protection would that work or do i need to find something else if so any freeware suggestions.



nsmalley -> RE: IP address problems (10/17/2005 18:11:24)

nsmalley -> RE: IP address problems (10/17/2005 18:31:54)
