The impression I had from the tech support person from Comcast that it seem to be something new that they had just started doing. As to a pin point time of this I did not ask on the precise timing of this development. >> I am concerned with the DNS calls to dyndns.org. Well at least the half >> hearted attempt.

Well from what I am finding, using http://openrbl.org/, hsdl.pa.comcast.net domain resolves to my IP address of 69.139.93.171: Host-Name: c-69-139-93-171.hsd1.pa.comcast.net Domain: comcast.net (204.127.228.15 216.148.227.202 63.240.76.72 204.127.195.15 204.127.205.8) NetRange: 69.136.0.0 - 69.143.255.255 CIDR: 69.136.0.0/13 NetName: JUMPSTART-3 NetHandle: NET-69-136-0-0-1 Parent: NET-69-0-0-0-0 So I guess the answer is yes. BTW - when I look at all the Local IP-host names and associated Process-ids for the UDP and TCP protocol's running I see these as the Local IP-host names: localhost WEConsultants.hsdl.pa.comcast.net WEConsultants Still need to find the bugger who is causing that problem. Or more interestingly where is this xxz0n3dxx.dyndns.org coming from on my machine. I did a global text search for xxz0n3dxx.dyndns.org and only found in 5 files but these related to the emails I have sent to this newsgroup. Maybe I should look for just xxz0n3dxx or dyndns by themselves. When I see these Standard Queries, in real time, I see the Process-ids associated but no associated program initiating that process. -- Thanks in Advance... http://weconsulting.org IchBin, Philadelphia, Pa, USA http://ichbinquotations.weconsulting.org ______________________________________________________________________ 'If there is one, Knowledge is the "Fountain of Youth"' -William E.
