i keep getting this message popping up that is trying to connect remotely and asking me what i want to do. it usually shows an ip address but the ip keeps changing. i have a cable modem setup that works fine but out of nowhere this just started happening. any ideas?
 
1) Unless you are on a network disable file and printer sharing now.

2) If you don't have a firewall or hardware router with a built in firewall, I'd suggest installing some sort of firewall (XP's native firewall will do fine for incoming threats).

3) Run ad-aware.

4) Take a look in msconfig and see if any programs are starting that require a network connection.
 
thanks alan.

i disabled file and printer sharing a long time ago

i have zone alarm pro firewall

i ran adware and some trojan searching program, nothing

i ran NAV2003, nothing

im thinking it has something to do with the stupid beta NAV2003 i installed last week. i had NAV2002, figured i would give the NAV2003 a shot, i haven't installed anything really else so im totally stumped.

whatever it is, its annoying every once in a while it just seems to pop up while browsing and seeks out diff. IP's everytime as if its random.
 
Hmmm - well, at least it's not anything trying to get in. Nothing unusual in msconfig I guess. Well, maybe you're right - could be the nav beta.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
