Tell you later...(meaning now after edit)

Post #3,712 by bepatient 8/3/01 9:52:57 AM 8/3/01 12:49:41 PM Reply	Tell you later...(meaning now after edit) ...since my connection is on the fritz again. I think @home is having problems with the traffic...and in response are dropping connections. This is the 3rd time in 5 days...prior to this I had been online and up for about 6 months. Anyway...now that the connection is restored...logs show 15 attempts the first go round...and 30 so far and counting on the second round. Good that you had me look at the logs more closely though...cause some idiot is trying the 2k printer exploit on me also...twice so far. Idiot... Um...er...well... I have no choice!

Well, after two hours, them replacing all my connectors outside (supposedly they were bad), and wrestling with them because they insisted that I convert over to DHCP (luckily issues made them keep me on a static), they chalked it up to a few bad connectors. And, guess what? I'm still going down a couple of times a day. I'm with you, Bill, I think this Code Red thing is causing @Home to burp badly. What a pain. -Jason ---- My pid is Inigo Montoya.

But my cts.net (local here in San Diego) 56K modem is doin' fine. But that doesn't help my users, since the 56k is tacked onto the email server. Everyone's unhappy :( That's her, officer! That's the woman that programmed me for evil!
