scussy.
I have 4meg cable with bluyonder and have judt run the test from ADSL web site.
I got 3852 Kbps downstream and 357 upstream, these are upper limit for 4meg.
for info my downstream was less than 1/2 this last week and they tried to tell me that it was alright but I tried 3 different tech guys untill one spent about 30 mins changing settings and the speeds shot up. (do not ask what he made me do as I do not have a clue, I would rather deal with Traffic Wardens than change settings). Graeme.

thanks Graeme,
so it looks like they are telling porkies,i don't like changing my settings as they just read from a book in india,my speed was ok untill my boy started downloading films,so maybe they don't like the amount we are using,

In wondiws go to control panel, system, device manager, modems, your modem!

Lots of options there.Undergener there is a enable or disable feature at the bottom of the dialogue box ('use this device' or 'do not use this device')

Installed the latest automatic update and my office 2003 windows programmes ( Word Excel etc) all started to freeze the application when I stared using open and save as functions.

Used restore function to get back before update and office programmes work OK.

Forgot to change auto update settings and it did it all again so it must be Microsofts update but hey I cant be the only guy with this problem surely??

Looking to upgrade my motherboard and cpu, which are the best boards/bundles to get at the moment between 75-125, would also like card/usb slots at the front and back if possible

I've got a MSI KT33,AMD anthlon 1.2MHz with 512 Ram at the moment

All,

My PC is constantly having intrusion attempts blocked by my firewall.

The IP address doing this is always the same, 62.190.233.86

There are some numbers in brackets after the IP address, and these vary, (4419), (3106), and (2041) after each attempt.

Is there anyway this IP can be traced using free online tools please?

I have tried Geektools, and the reply it gave was ambiguous, although it seems the other user is a Pipex user.

Someone told me there is a way to trace the IP address to the town / area it originates in, and if possible, I would like to do this.

Any help appreciated.

Here's one for the conspiracy theorists.

Occasionally, I look to see who has poked at my router. Mostly it's anonymous ISP users with little chance of ever finding the prober.

However, over the last few days, my router has been repelling probes on various ports from 34.168.1.34.

This is in the IP netblock owned by none less than the mighty Halliburton company of Houston, TX (Prop: Dick Cheney).

Now, why would they poke at me -- unless, of course, it's customer service because they know I own one of their fine aircraft aluminium attache cases ;-)
