Laura, I'm using Firefox 1.0, with the international fix.
Both my spyware fixers (Spyware 6.0 and ... Holy Crap! My other spyware thing has vanished!)
So scared now.
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Crap. This was the case with my niece's machine. She had cooties. Sorry to say hard to get rid of stuff. Does your virus software work?
The virus stuff may work under safe mode.
Operating system?

Laura: WIN2K-Pro, on this box.
However, my Linux box (RH8) is doing the same thing.
I think my NAT has cooties. Or my ISP.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
However, my Linux box (RH8) is doing the same thing.
Then it can't be a virus or spyware.
Where is your NAT? Do you have a router? If so, can you connect the computer directly to the modem and see if it works better?
ION, I just brought my Cube back from the dead. Fucking loose screw shorting out the graphics card. Anyway, you don't truely own a computer until you've taken it apart. For values of you = me, anyway.
eta: Gus, you're talking about two different computers and not a dual-boot system, right?

Ah. Good news on the virus front I'd say. Listen to Tom on the hardware stuff. If it is configuration or something on the ISP end I can no longer be helpful. I can offer virtual scotch and good cheer.

It's probably almost time for Gus to call customer service. But Gus should probably first unplug and plug back in whatever modem he has. Then restart the router. Because customer service may ask him if he's done this. Oh, and maybe restart one of the computers too, to get it to refresh its network info (assuming the computers are getting their DNS info from DHCP).
It sounds like their DNS servers are frelled.

Yes, (tommyrot and Laura), separate hardware pieces.
That is, the RH8 and the Win2k box are discrete. The NAT is Belkin hard cable x 4.
The other two boxes on the LAN are Replays, (which are Linux 7).
Since it has all worked earlier, I'm going with an ISP change.
Yahweh, have mercy on my penitent soul.

Every couple of weeks I completely lose my internect connection and need to restart my cable modem. Sometimes the router too, so the changes can propegate.
Have I mentioned how much I love my wireless Apple keyboard and mouse? That's a rhetorical question; I know I have.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Every couple of weeks I completely lose my internect connection and need to restart my cable modem.
This started happening to me a year and a half or so ago, and kept getting progressively worse over the course of a couple of months. I eventually had to buy a new cable modem.
