-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yesterday my mom recieved a CDR/RW drive as a gift. :) YAY!!! :) But this morning my connection to COX cable suddenly stoped working. :( At the time the service stopped letting me get data from outside IPs, I was testing my shields. I was curious as to what ports were being blocked by COX and which weren't, so I ran GRC's port scanner on my machine with my firewall turned off. But just as I was doing it, the browser suddenly gave me a DNS error. I tried multiple times to get to various web sites, all were dead. I tried PING, it resolved host names to IPs just fine, but it couldn't connect to any IPs. GRRR. Also, freenet was running at the time, in the background. There wasn't much activity. The only thing that was really different at all was that I changed the Port for the Freenet Proxy program from 8888 to port 21. This might have triggered some kind of response from COX, I don't know.
I don't understand why COX doesn't want thier users running Server software of any kind. Or so they say in their Policy files. I mean, every time I run mIRC I'm running a "server" application, because the application has open ports and is activly listening to requests. Same thing with the Weather Bug, it is always listening for data. Or Winamp, when I want to listing to online radio, it acts like a server. As long as I am staying within the bandwidth limits set by COX, what the heck is thier problem? Why can't I have a relatively slow and small server application serving up content or allowing file transfers? It doesn't make sense. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: Hush 2.1 Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com wlsEARECABsFAj1SwkQUHGtyZXB0YUBodXNobWFpbC5jb20ACgkQBUgdL+t0RJvdRACf RtvLFUv8wZ75z4cId3DeGfSAdLIAoL82TSm65Z/FrisPmLrThaPE/NiW =HS5Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Communicate in total privacy.
