this is what my ip address was during the week when i was looking into it and i questioned my son last nite to see if he has changed any of my settings , he said he hadn't but im not to sure he was telling me last week how great his laptop was now and he's downloading loads of movies where as he could'nt before and now i cant get a stable connection on my Limewire or watch and news reals like i used to be able to,
also when he went out today i went in checked his lap top and when i went to turn it of(as he's now put his password on it) the thing poped up with a tab saying that other users where connected to this connection and if i shut down they may lose data , i shut it down anyway and i plugged out his Belkin usb wireless adapter and when i looked on my pc both the connections where still active??
only now my pc's slower than ever and i went on a site to find my ip address and it now shows up as 195.93.21.39
PLEASE ANYONE got any ideas WHATS UP and is any of this right??
im running winxp home Edition. forgot to say my son is now NOT USING AOL he dont even have it on his laptop.
