The reverse DNS lookup by location shows you're in Las Vegas. LOL! Almost as inaccurate as what you probably found. I'm in a hotel now who I believe have service through "Shaw Cable". For some reason its location resolves to Edmonton, which is home to a lot of Shaw operations but not even CLOSE to where I am right now. I'm in Marathon, Ontario right now, probably more than 1000 miles away from Edmonton. Less than the distance between Washington to Las Vegas, but still woefully inaccurate. The hacker wannabe in me is seeing that you have things under control here - webserver, IP logging, etc. The "social engineering" we're doing here indicates you have some surprises up your sleeve and I wouldn't want to go much further. I would think you have an additional layer or two of protection most home users don't even think about. P.S. the hacker wannabe in me likes to try to bring up the router admin pages in the hotels he connects. You'd be surprised what he finds.

I never did anything, but it was tempting. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30564 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
