Hello.

I really value your opinion on here. I know you have used many of the linux firewalls- pfsense, endian etc in the past.

I now have growing kids and am currently using my comcasts free mcafee security suite which I do like but has to be configured on each pc.

Also from a command prompt try ipconfig /flushdns. This will clear the cache of dns entries on your laptop.

From your last message the problem seems to be that you are giving out DNS ip's from your Sonic which is getting them from the ISP. You should be letting the AD server run DNS and have your workstations point to the AD server for DNS. That is causing your slow logins because the DNS that the ISP is ...

If it is anywhere it would be an option in the LAN setup. Is there anymore pages that are available within that area? If not I really don't know. Try contacting your ISP to see how to port forward on their modem.

Look for documentation for your modem/router. If it is natting then that is your trouble. Turning off nat would them leave you very vulnerable to the net.

In that case you need to get into somewhere in your router/modem and do port forwarding. It will be so that the router gets hit on like port 23 then forwards that request to your box. You need to know the ip of your box, get to a command prompt and type ipconfig. It should return something like 192 ...

In your screenshot of your ports I did not see anything showing for port 20,21 which makes it seem that you are not running any ftp server software on your system so the ports aren't listening.

This may sound stupid but do you have a ftp server running on your box? If not then the ports would not be listening and would show as closed.

It sounds like all you have to do is unplug the power to the modem for a couple minutes then power it back on. This will force the modem to re-register the mac address of your computer back to the ISP and it then should work.

Hello there.

The model that you list as having is just a cablemodem, NOT a wireless router. Is there another device connected to that modem? If not then she does not have a wireless network.

Possibly what you may be seeing in your wireless networks is a neighbors network.

If you have Comcast, you need to hook the router up, then power off your cablemodem and router for a few minutes - then power on the router, then the cablemodem. Comcast registers the mac address of the 1st device behind the cablemodem(your pc in this case). Powering off the cablemodem will have it ...

Good morning,

If you are using a hub it will not work if your ISP gives you just 1 IP address like Comcast does. What you need is a router instead of the hub.

If you have already tried different cables then it seems that your nic card is the problem. That ip address 169.x.x.x is the ip a system shows when it doesn't grab an ip from a dhcp server or it isn't manually configured.

Make sure that you have the right driver for that nic card or try another one.

Try running Spybot S&D and Ad-aware. It looks like it isn't truly a virus but actually spyware or malware.
