Quick IP question
Is there any security threat posting screenshots of running CMD, ipconfig, release/renew?
With that information can anyone mess with my computer somehow? Thanks Edit: I received this message shortly after I did when trying to connect to some website: Error message: "530 User <Username> cannot log in. Login failed." Dunno if that's an indicator somehow. |

Re: Quick IP question
Are you behind a router?
If you renewed your IP address and tried to reload a page on a site you have previously logged into they could have matched your username to your old IP address. Try from the front door and see if it works. |

Re: Quick IP question
first of all thanks for your help
i'm not behind a router i don't think unless the university system is somehow. i connect direct from the wall line to my computer. it was not a site to log onto, oddly it was just some myspace page (i don't log on to myspace) what of that information? harmless for anyone to know? |

Re: Quick IP question
The only information you would be giving up is your IP address, which would be difficult to exploit, especially if you are behind a university firewall.
There are much bigger things to worry about, just make sure your windows is up to date, and have a software firewall running. |
