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!
I've been having connectivity problems all day (Comcast's fault, I'm pretty sure) - for a while, the times when I could connect to the internet I seemed to be having DNS problems - I could get to some sites but not others (b.org wasn't down, was it?). Anyway, when I tried to get to b.org in either Mozilla or Safari, I got redirected (or something) to 0.0.0.0. What's going on? (I don't need to know - I'm just curious.)
0.0.0.0 means your local machine, right? Is it the same as localhost?

It means your computer could not pull an IP address from the DHCP host.
0.0.0.0 is a reserved default IP for when things go craxy.
0.0.0.0 is the official IP adress for Nowhere.
Except sometimes, 0.0.0.0 is the IP address for Anywhere.
255.255.255.255 is, of course, the IP address for Everywhere.
If, hypothetically speaking, somebody's i!pod broke badly, will App*le warranty service repair it even if ap*ple is not at fault?
tommy, comcast was really fucking up for us this morning.
Was it preceded by a synthesized female voice saying, "Warning. Magic smoke containment failure in one minute."?
Maybe he should have just reversed the polarity of the neutron flux.
Best bet is to bring the i&Pod to an A*pple Store. They have a lot of lattitude to exchange items, more than the folks on the other end of the phone at Apple#Care.

That reads like the prologue to the next Neil Gaiman novel.
0.0.0.0 is nowhere.
0.0.0.0 is now here.
Think about it.
