Update your antivirus and antispyware etc, then unhook from the internet. Boot into safe mode, then run the antivirus and antispyware. The safe mode part is important

2000 is way too damn much. Using the netstat -b command in cmd prompt, it shows 2 for me, and it's just Opera

oh netstat on the computer! I don't have control/access to it. And i don't really care if it's infected as long as it doesn't bring the rest of the network down...so if there's no way of limiting connections by client i guess i'll have to tell them to check their comp...blah...

:blink: WTF dude??? Your joking right???

read the second part: as long as it doesn't take the rest of the lan down.

(oh and none of the computers are actually networked together, so i should be safe...correct me if i'm wrong please?)

So...any way to limit connections by client???

i generally have around upwards of 3000 tcp connections, but when running heavy torrent transfers, which is usually 24/7 (maxing my connection bandwidth), however when not doing those activities i might have 20-50 connections going on (web/terminal services traffic)

so .. if your not using p2p, you probably have some spyware/virus going on.

the other possibility, i guess, is that dd-wrt's p2p blocking doesn't actually do what it says, i don't doubt the possibility.

get a router!

IF YOU HAVE INTERNET YOU SHOULD HAVE A ROUTER!!!

unless you already got one but it sure don't sound like it!

.......ummm yea try reading that one more time

as for the OP, most torrents and p2p have a way of getting past firewalls and routers. they randomize the ports they go through and can encrypt their traffic. even if you block all the ports except for 80 they can still work

i know of no way to guarantee that torrent and p2p traffic won't work. maybe budman knows :huh:

facepalm

there's no single or even a few recurring IPs

so let me get this straight, one of your machines has ~2000 tcp connections, but hardly any of them (if any) are showing up in the active connections list?

oh I see the list, but there's no single IP it's connecting to, and I haven't found a feasible way of analyzing a thousand or so unique IPs from a copy+paste of the list yet.

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
