What is an IP-address?

An IP-address is a number, which get used as a unique identification for your computer on the net. With other words, no one has the same IP as you, and it is the IP address which makes that you have internet.

There are exceptions though if you're on a big net, for example and School network or behind a Proxy server, then all the user share the same IP-address.. This is something you should think of, if you use a Proxy server to stay anonymous.

Is it dangerous if someone get a hold of my IP?

No. In fact, it's almost impossible to avoid that someone you're communicating with on the internet gets your IP.. It's just an address which identifies your computer, and not you as a person. If anyone get your IP, can they find out which country you live in, and which ISP (Internet Service Provider) you have. They can not find out who you are, nor take control over your machine.

How can I find the one who owns the IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx?

Technically you can't, all you can do is th do a WHOIS search, whcih means it gather information about the ISP itself. You could always find a download that trace IP addresses, but you will only get to the ISP, and see the map over the Country where the ISP is. If you somehow want to WHOIS someone then I suggest you use a WHOIS tool based on Web applications. The programs doesn't really give exact data. Links for WHOIS'ing are posted at the bottom of the article.

Can the Police trace me based on my IP?

Yes. If the Court has given the police orders to gather the ISP's traffic data,Then can they trace you. The ISP has data which shows which IP's you've had and which time you had them.. These logs are not given out to the police or whatever without order from court (following Norwegian laws), there are many laws about how these logs needs to be taken care of by the ISP.

You won't get the data before you've actually been convicted for something you've done on the net.

How can I avoid that someone get my IP?

You could always use a proxy server. A proxy takes data from you, and then sends the data to whatever is going to have the data. The bad part is that you have to trust the proxy, Since the proxy can actually show your original IP, and\or it can listen or save the data you're transferring

IF you're gonna use a Proxy server, will you be able to see the IP to the Proxy server. This IP will be the same for everyone that uses the Proxy server.

Is it important to avoid people from seeing my IP?

NO! You have absolutely nothing to be afraid of. The best you can do for your security is to have your Operating System patched, and use safe Services connected to the internet, if you run a web server from your computer etc. They will have a hard time getting access to your computer with your IP, so don't be scared.

Private IP's!

There is 4 private IP-areas:

* 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
* 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
* 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

in addition is there 169.254.0.0-169.254.255.255 for automatic giving of IP-addresses, where not DHCP or any other automatic allocation exists.

Private IP's are special because they can be found in different places, as distinct from public (normal) IP's which have to be unique.

It's likely that you have Private IP-address, if you're connected to the internet with an ADSL-router..

Private IP's doesn't get routed by routers, and therefore is it only good to use in the same physical net, or with ruterar which is setup to explicitly route it.

IPv4

Internet Protocol version 4 is the fourth iteration of the Internet Protocol (IP) and it is the first version of the protocol to be widely deployed. IPv4 is the dominant network layer protocol on the Internet and apart from IPv6 it is the only standard internetwork-layer protocol used on the Internet. IPv4 is a data-oriented protocol to be used on a packet switched internetwork (e.g., Ethernet). It is a best effort protocol in that it does not guarantee delivery. It does not make any guarantees on the correctness of the data; It may result in duplicated packets and/or packets out-of-order. These aspects are addressed by an upper layer protocol (e.g., TCP, and partly by UDP).

Subnet

In computer networks which use the Internet Protocol, a subnetwork or subnet is a range of logical addresses within the address space that is assigned to an organization. Subnetting is a hierarchical partitioning of the network address space of an organization (and of the network nodes of an autonomous system) into several subnets. Routers constitute borders between subnets. Communication to and from a subnet is mediated by one specific port of one specific router, at least momentarily.

A typical subnet is a physical network served by one router, for instance an Ethernet network (consisting of one or several Ethernet segments or local area networks, interconnected by network switches and network bridges) or a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). However, subnetting allows the network to be logically divided regardless of the physical layout of a network, since it is possible to divide a physical network into several subnets by configuring different host computers to use different routers.

The address to all nodes in a subnet starts with the same binary sequence, which is its network id and subnet id. In IPv4, the subnet is identified by its base address and subnet mask. The CIDR-style prefix notation (e.g., /24) is functionally equivalent to a subnet mask, and generally easier to understand.

Subnetting simplifies routing, since each locally connected subnet typically is represented by one row in the routing tables in each connected router. More distant sets of contiguous subnets are more likely to be represented by a row of the routing table that corresponds to the aggregated block.

Subnetting was originally introduced before the introduction of classful network addresses in IPv4, to allow a single larger network to have a number of smaller networks within it, controlled by several routers. Subnetting made Classless Inter-Domain Routing possible.

In order for computers to communicate in a routing domain with one or many subnets, they will all need their own IP address. However, if you need more than one logical block of addresses, subnetting provides the ability to easily divide one IP address range amongst all the hosts in your network. Subnetting is used in IP networks to break up larger network prefixes into a smaller network. Subnetting involves manually calculating the bits of an IP address and taking them from the host side of bits and adding them to the routing prefix side.

WHOIS-Services
http://www.afrinic.net/ - AfriNIC - Africa

http://www.arin.net/ - ARIN - North America
http://lacnic.net/en/ - LACNIC - Latin- og South-America
http://www.ripe.net/ - RIPE - Europe

You have to try them all to get results for the IP you want to WHOIS, because you can't be sure which continent the ISP is!

Well, this is the end of my article,





Can Some one who deleted my other tread tell me why is it becase hotmail will patch it ?

[Lukeff7]

If someone doesn't know what an I.P address is, they shouldn't be on CE forums.
They should just get away from the internet, read the manual in nooblish that was supplied with the modem or whatever, and come back with their common sense.
I really really REALLY don't think this helps and personally, I'd class it as spam.

The System Restore feature is built into Windows XP and is used to return your computer to an earlier state if you have a system failure or other major problem with your computer. The point of System Restore is to restore your system to a workable state without you having to reinstall the operating system and lose your data files in the process.

System Restore takes snapshots of your computer system and saves them as restore points. These restore points mark configuration places to return to, in the event of a problem with your computer that might occur after you install an unstable device driver or an older application. Because the snapshots are taken automatically and are restored through the System Restore Wizard, System Restore is both effective and user-friendly.

In this column, you'll learn how to use the System Restore Wizard to recover from a system failure. You'll also learn how to create restore points manually, how to use Scheduled Tasks, and how to troubleshoot System Restore if it doesn't work the way you expect it to.
How System Restore Works

System Restore automatically tracks changes to your computer and creates restore points before major changes are to occur. To create a restore point, System Restore takes a full snapshot of the registry and some dynamic system files. For a list of what file types are monitored and restored, see the MSDN article, Microsoft Windows XP System Restore.

For example, restore points are created before new device drivers, automatic updates, unsigned drivers, and some applications are installed. These healthy system checkpoints are created without prompting or intervention from the user the first time the computer is started after Windows XP is installed and, by default, on a daily basis after that. You can also manually create restore points.

When you use System Restore, you can revert to a saved state without losing personal data including Word documents, e-mail settings and messages, and your Internet favorites list. System Restore won't lose any data you have stored in the My Documents, My Pictures, or My Music folders either.

Disk Space for System Restore

To use System Restore, you'll need 200 MB of free hard disk space, which is used to store the data gathered for the restore points. If you don't have this much free space, System Restore will disable itself until the space becomes available. System Restore will create and save restore points until this space is full, and will then begin writing over itself beginning with the least recent data.

200 MB isn't a lot of room to store restore points. Allocating more space will result in better protection and performance. I'd suggest allocating the maximum amount available. To allocate more than the default 200 MB of disk space to System Restore:

1.


Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.

2.


In the System Properties dialog box, on the System Restore tab, use the slider to increase the allocated disk space, and then click OK.

If you're using more than one drive on your system, follow these steps:

1.


Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.

2.


Click the drive you want to monitor, and then click Settings.

3.


In the Settings dialog box, shown in Figure 1, use the slider to increase the disk space, and then click OK twice.
Figure 1

Figure 1

Notice that the disk space allocated to System Restore cannot exceed 12%. If you need more space, you can run the Disk Cleanup utility to reclaim space. To open Disk Cleanup:
•

Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.

Before You Try System Restore

System Restore should only be used after trying less comprehensive methods of troubleshooting. System Restore changes many files and registry entries, and in some cases might replace more files than you want restored. So when I first run into a computer problem, I reboot my computer. I'm still amazed at how often a problem is solved by using this simple technique. Or, if your computer won't start in normal mode, reboot your computer, press F8 during the boot process, use the arrow keys to highlight Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER.

Other troubleshooting techniques that often work are listed below.

Run problem applications in Compatibility Mode if system instability occurs after installing a particular application. To run the Program Compatibility Wizard:
•

Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Program Compatibility Wizard.

Use Add or Remove Programs to uninstall a problem application if the system instability has occurred immediately after a new application has been installed and running the program in Compatibility Mode hasn't helped. Although System Restore will remove the application if you choose to apply it, it is better to remove the offending application from Control Panel. To open Add or Remove Programs:

1.


Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.

2.


Click the program you want to remove, and then click Change/Remove.

If the system's instability has occurred immediately after a new device driver is installed, use the Device Driver Rollback feature instead of System Restore. To roll back to an earlier driver:

1.


Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

2.


On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.

3.


In the Device Manager dialog box, double-click the hardware that uses the driver in question.

4.


In the device Properties dialog box, on the Driver tab, click Roll Back Driver.

See Charlie Russel's columns, Device Driver Rollback Beats BSOD and Finding Compatible Device Drivers for Windows XP, and Paul McFedries' column, Troubleshoot Device Driver Problems, for more information about device drivers.

Work through the Windows XP troubleshooters in the Help and Support Center. To open a troubleshooter:

1.


Click Start, and then click Help and Support.

2.


Under Pick a Help topic, click Fixing a Problem.

3.


Under Troubleshooting problems in the right pane, click List of troubleshooters, and then start a troubleshooter by clicking the name in the left column of the table.

If, after trying these options the computer is still unstable, opt for System Restore. You'll want to save this option for last because the changes made to your computer are more comprehensive than if you simply uninstall a program or rollback a device driver.

Use System Restore

After you've decided to use System Restore to revert your system to a previous state, start the System Restore Wizard and follow the prompts. To use the System Restore Wizard, make sure you're logged on as an administrator, and then follow these steps:

1.


Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.

2.


On the Welcome screen, click Restore my computer to an earlier time, and then click Next.

3.


On the Select a Restore Point page, select the date from the calendar that shows the point you'd like to restore to, as shown in Figure 2, and then click Next.
Figure 2

Figure 2

4.


On the Confirm Restore Point Selection page, verify that the correct restore point is chosen, and then close any open programs.

5.


Click Next if you are ready to proceed or click Back to change the restore point.

6.


The computer will shut down automatically and reboot. On reboot, you'll see the Restoration Complete page, and then click OK.

After reviewing the stability of your system, you can choose another restore point or undo this restoration. Just open System Restore and make the appropriate choice. After you use System Restore, you'll have an additional task, Undo my last restoration, on the System Restore Welcome page. Remember that you'll have to reinstall any programs that were installed after the restore point.

If System Restore doesn't work in Normal Mode, it might work in Safe Mode. To use System Restore in Safe Mode, press the F8 key during reboot and choose Safe Mode. When your computer starts in either Safe Mode or Normal Mode, System Restore can be used to capture a working previous state. System Restore can't be opened unless the system is bootable into one of these modes.

Create Restore Points Manually

Only application installations that use a System Restore restorept.api-compliant installer will trigger the creation of a restore point. So it's a good idea to create a restore point manually before you install an application that you suspect won't have one a restorept.api-compliant installer. For example, before installing a screensaver you've downloaded from the Internet or a beta program from a software vendor, you should manually create a restore point. For more information, see the TechNet article, Windows XP System Restore.

To manually create a restore point:

1.


Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.

2.


On the Welcome page, click Create a restore point.

3.


On the Create a Restore Point page, enter a descriptive name for your restore point, as shown in Figure 3, and then click Create.
Figure 3

Figure 3

The Restore Point Created page confirms that the new restore point has been created. I think it's a good idea to manually create a restore point before you download and install any application from the Internet.
Top of pageTop of page
Use Scheduled Tasks

You can use Scheduled Tasks to create restore points at specified times. You might want to configure Scheduled Tasks to run System Restore at 6:00 P.M. daily, so that you always have a restore point available at the end of each working day.

To create a Scheduled Task, log on as an administrator, and then follow these steps:

1.


Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, click Scheduled Tasks, and then double-click Add Scheduled Task.

2.


Click Next on the first Scheduled Task Wizard page.

3.


On the second page, click System Restore in the list of applications, and then click Next.

4.


Continue through the wizard, specifying the days and times to run System Restore.

5.


When prompted, type in the user name and password for an administrator of the system, and then click Finish.

Scheduled Tasks starts each time you start Windows XP and runs in the background.

Troubleshoot System Restore

Some common problems that could cause System Restore not to work properly and their solutions include the following:
•

There is less than 200 MB of free space available on the computer—free up some space on the hard drive by deleting unused files or images.
•

After rebooting, the restoration is unsuccessful—choose an earlier restore point and try again.
•

Restoration was denied due to non-administrator status—log out and then back in as an administrator.
•

The System Restore Service is not running—Open Administrative Tools, click Computer Management, and then click Services and Applications. Click Services, and double-click System Restore Services from the list. Verify the service is started and running. If not, under Service status, click Start and change the startup type to Automatic.

Solutions to more complicated problems can be found in the Microsoft Knowledge Base by clicking Search the Knowledge Base and entering System Restore and a few keywords that describe the problem. For example, System Restore Does Not Restore Printer Drivers to Original State details what to do if System Restore fails to restore printer drivers although the rest of the restore process seems to go smoothly.

Do I Still Have to Use Backup?

System Restore is no substitute for regularly backing up your data. System Restore comes into play when your computer becomes unstable. System Restore can't be used if your hard drive fails or is melted down in a fire, because the information that System Restore uses is stored on the hard drive itself. To create regular backups of your data and computer system state, use the Backup utility in Windows XP.

To open Backup:
•

Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Backup.

When you use Backup, save the backup information to a disk or an external drive for safekeeping. If there's a catastrophic failure, such as a hard drive crash, this backup can be used to restore the data after the hardware repair is complete. See Backup and Recover Your Information, Use Backup to Protect Information, and Backup Overview for more coverage on Backup.

Remember, regularly backup your data, make sure that System Restore has enough free space to run, and let Windows XP do the rest.
