ALSO FOR THOSE THAT ASKED ME TO HELP AND HAD SOMEONE TRYING TO GET IN THERE SYSTEM, AFTER 4 DAYS OF RESEARCHING THE IP'S OF THE PLAYERS AND THE VISITORS. IT APPEARS THAT KNOW ONE WE KNOW IS ATTEMPTING TO HACK INTO YOUR SYSTEM. NOW, THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT SNIFF THE GAMING ZONES FOR THE PORTS THAT THE GAME USES. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IF YOU HAVE FILE AND PRINTING SHARING ENABLED. IF YOU DO NOT THAN REALLY SHOULDNT WORRY AS IT TAKES MORE TIME TO GET INTO SOMEONES SYSTEM AND MOST WONT TAKE A CHANCE TO FIND NOTHING. THERE ARE MANY SNIFFER PROGRAMS OUT THERE JUST DO A SEARCH AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD ONE AND SEE HOW THEY WORK. I DEVELOPED ONE BUT IT DOES NOT SHOW YOU THE FILES AND FOLDERS SHARED JUST IP'S OPENED. IF YOU USE A FIREWALL LIKE LINKSYS OR NETGEAR YOU BETTER MAKE SURE YOU CONFIGURE IT CORRECTLY AS THEY ARE EXTREMELY EASY TO GET THROUGH. A GOOD WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF IS.... WELL THERE REALLY ISNT ANYWAY BUT JUST SECURE YOUR FILES AND UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE TO YOUR ROUTER FIREWALL, AND ASSIGN YOUR IP ADDRESS RATHER THAN GRAB ONE FORM YOUR ROUTERS DHCP. CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS TO YOUR ROUTER AS THE USUAL 192.168.0.1 IS MOST COMMONLY USED. IF YOU USE SOFTWARE ROUTER I LIKE NORTONS INTERNET SECURITY BUT IT MAY DRIVE YOU CRAZY THAT IT MAKES YOU BELEIVE SOMEONES TRYING TO ATTACK YOU WHNE IT IS THE SERVERS YOU ARE CONNECTING TO SENDING REQUESTS OR PUTTING A COOKIE ON YOUR SYSTEM. DO NOT BE PARONOID. HERES A QUIK WAY OF DETECTING YOUR SYSTEM
GOTO SEARCH CHOOSE FILES AND FOLDERS--AFTER SCREEN OPENS MAXIMIZE IT--LOOK ON LEFT SIDE AND CHOOSE SEARCH COMPUTERS OR COMPUTERS ON YOUR NETWORK--TYPE YOUR IP ADDRESS IN THERE AND CLICK SEARCH--- YOU SYSTEM SHOULD APPEAR IN THE WINDOW TO THE RIGHT--IF IT DOES YOU ARE HACKABLE IF DOES NOT WELL YOU ARE PRETTY SAFE. I HAD SOMEONE TRY TO GET INTO ME BUT I REALLY DIDNT PAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO IT BUT WISH I HAD. I TRIED TO DRAW THE ATTENTION TO SOME PEOPLE WHOM I THOUGHT WOULD BE DOING IT BUT NO ONE TRIED. ALOT OF THESE ONLINE GAMES ARE THE CULPRIT. BEWARE OF THE SERVERS YOU JOIN IN ON AS YOU ARE NOW GIVING ALL YOUR NETWORKS INFORMATION TO THE ADMIN WHO EVER THEY MAY BE. NOW IF YOU HAVE A CABLE MODEM YOU CAN FIND OUT ALL YOUR INFO REGARDING THE MAC OF THE CABLE MODEM AND OTHER GOODIES.
FOR AN EXAMPLE
OPEN UP INTERNET EXPLORER
TYPE IN 192.168.100.1
THIS SHOULD BE YOUR ADDRESS TO YOU CABLE MODEM. THERE IS AWAY ALTER CERTAIN THINGS IN THERE BUT I CAN NOT TELL YOU AS IT TAKES ALONG TIME TO EXPLAIN. LOOK IT UP. THE WAY I HAVE MY NETWORK SETUP IS EACH IPADDRESS THAT CONNECTS OR IF SOMEONE PINGS ME IT TRACS THE PERSON WHO DOES IT. A GOOD SOLUTION TO A ROUTER FIREWALL IS THE DLINK D1-614. IT IS PRETTY CHEAP AND HAS MANY FEATURES THAT SHOULD BE SUITABLE TO MOST OF YOU.
