lol i was going to yell at you, but now I’m kind of lazy. 1. static ip’s are for consumers as well as business’s, it all depends on what service and plan you have, for instance BellSouth Fast Access offers services but you would have to get the more expensive plan to have a static IP, that all really depends. really though… who cares if someone gets your ip address, between a regular out of the box router, your computer how it is (normally) and SOME isp’s security you’re pretty well off (I’m not saying your hack proof by any means) you’re ip and open ports (if any) can easily be found if the person knows anything about anything. ZONE alarm sucks. also, a trojan can open a port on your computer but not on your router.. so unless they sniffed your network for open ports through your router (you SHOULD keep tabs on that) then programs the trojan for that port.. then its not getting through

really you should never get to the point of having to take out your CMOS battery so if you did.. then you deserve what you got lol, Install a decent Virus Scan, if you REALLY want install a firewall (when was the last time a normal user who doesn’t look up porn, ever actually use one?) in the last 10 years i’ve never been “hacked” and the only time i had computer problems was when i actually had a firewall running, to many people are paranoid
BTW firewall thing is strictly my opinion cuz I’m sure MANY people will say its a must (btw I’m talking about a AVERAGE at home user not business stuff) when it comes to business stuff protect it.

and just to piss of so many more nerds I’m going to have to say “WINDOWS ROCKS”

wrote a bunch on this age old thread so MY B

OH and there is no real threat… so all those people who are afraid of being hacked, don’t feel so important 😛 you’re prob not even noticed on the internet, unless one of your friends surfs the internet for sub7 or something (n00b).

Few TIPS: (for cheap people)
Get AVG free virus
Dont look at porn
Dont download random stuff
Dont search for illegal stuff
Use a router
Just be aware of what your doing
should be good

🙂

i think that covered it..

Kiosk system? lol what you need that for….. and what kind of computer? like a friends on aim.. or a kiosk system?

uhhh im not really sure how you would go about find a kiosk systems ip.. i havent ever tryed..

and if your not sure about how to get the ip from one.. and you plan on hacking something like that… dont… (not that you should attempt hacking one anyway…)

why though??

dude when you say somethinhg like that trying to sound all smart.. all you sound like is a babbling idiot.. seriously… he asked a quick fix for checking there address.. not what internet provider they have..

well im not really going to post anything long.. just few small things..

first.. read what zhugeliang said.. and listin.. hes one of the only people who knows what hes talking about.. and

second.. EVERYONE needs to stop thinking your computers are so insicure.. seriously.. just get a “decent” virus scan and your basically safe.. windows isnt the most insicure os in the world.. considering how masivly used it is.. its considerably safe..

virus scan will keep out little trojans (that most wanna be hacker kids.. who get on yahoo and aim to scare people use) and then they are worthless… because they dont actually know how to “hack”..

if you want to see someones ip you have to direct connect and use netstat -n in the command promp.. (use netstat -n then direct connect with the person and type netstat -n again and see whats new) even that doesnt work everytime though..

but why bother? just tell the kid hes a idiot.. and leave you alone.. someone posts this same thing on here seems like once a week 😉
