Can someone connect to your moden w/o a router on your end?

IM is connected directly to a modem, RoadRunner. But recently my speed slowed WAY down.

Hello

No - someone is unable to connect to your modem so this isn't the problem that you are experiencing.

I hope this helps.

  • Can someone do in your network by using only the phone lines?

    Hello

    so I get calls from 'Windows' weekly.
    The team of 'windows' wants to help solve the computers...

    Crooks, of course, but they keep calling me.

    Y does it have that in any way the security of the network is compromised PURELY through the use of telephone landlines?

    Is there a way to "trap"? For example, giving the command remotely to a computer (trap) the property of Microsoft or the FBI or... ? I bet that someone wants to catch them? I wouldn't mind redirecting their...
    If they keep the call, he must mean the scam work and the people in the fall.

    If the telephone line does not connect to your computer, then no..  If your computer has a modem and the telephone line is connected to it, then yes there are ways they could fool you or how misconfigure your computer allowing them full access.

I have not been able to log on since. Help. This happened directly after PC Cleaner has done what ever he did (after restart). Connect to my computer makes me nowhere.

    I can access BIOS but nothing to change there.

    Help and thanks to whom ever can tell me how to fix this problem

    Do you mean that no matter what you try to do to log in normal or any kind of safe mode, you continue to see a message loop that look like this:

    Starting Windows...
    Loading your personal settings...
    Once your settings...
    End the session...
    Loading your personal settings...
    Once your settings...
    End the session...

    If so, it is usually a sign that your system is currently or has been reached by malicious software.

    I don't think that these links KB will work and KB307545 there's a lot of work - and you don't have symptoms suggestive of a necessity to implement KB307545.  You have symptoms of a file userinit.exe lack.

    There is a malware that removes, corrupts, or replace the file c:\windows\system32\userinit.exe and/or some registry settings associated with it.  It is also possible that your anti-virus quarantined (actually deleted) file c:\windows\system32\userinit.exe, thinking that he was in some way afflicted.

    The userinit.exe is the file that processes your login in normal mode or any kind of Mode safe, so if it is missing or broken in some way it creates a never-ending cycle of failed logon attempts in any mode for all users.

    If you have some other affliction and used the Configuration System (msconfig) utility to add the option/SafeBoot for STARTING systems. INI to solve some problems, it will present the same symptoms a userinit.exe file missing.

    Did you use the Configuration System (msconfig) utility to add the /SAFEBOOT option to the BOOT. INI on your system?

    If the userinit.exe file is missing or damaged in some way, it is usually easy to just replace. Even if the replacement of the file will let you log in again, just replace the file is not solved the problem - it fixes the symptom of the problem.  When you log in again, you must do a little more work to relieve your system of any malware got your system distressed in the first place.

    It can also modify your registry so instead of the registry pointing to userinit.exe, that it points
    in another file called wsaupdater.exe.  Sometimes scanning programs can find and replace the wsaupdater.exe file but not to repair the registry you will need to somehow get the system to start and fix the rest of the problem at hand.

    It is quite popular to have Microsoft create a knockout that describes the problem of wsaupdater:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/892893

    I have not seen the problem of wsaupdater in a long time, but the absent userinit.exe is common.

    The following guidelines cover situations more than the article, but you should read the article anyway to figure things out a little better.

    AprΦs the dΘmarrage on the Console and recovery after run chkdsk/r with success, you should be in the C:\WINDOWS folder and the userinit.exe file is in the SYSTEM32 folder then change to the system32 folder by typing:

    CD system32

    Check the presence of the userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe. They may be there or they may not, but we need to know:

    Userinit.exe dir (post results - the file exists or not)
    wsaupdater.exe dir (post results - the file exists or not)

    No matter what you find, replace in any case the userinit.exe according to a copy elsewhere on your system.

    There is a copy backup of the userinit.exe in the c:\windows\system32\dllcache folder then copy it to the
    the c:\windows\system32 folder.

    In the c:\windows\system32 folder, enter:

    Copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\userinit.exe c:\windows\system32

    If the file is not found is dllcache, this can work according to your installation:

    copy c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386 c:\windows\system32

    If even that fails, you can get a userinit.exe on a Flash DRIVE or a floppy disk and replace it.

    There are a userinit.exe XP SP3 on my SkyDrive, you can download:

  • I can't connect wirelessly to the Internet, while other devices are able?

    I can't connect to the Internet with my laptop.  This began a few days ago.  But we can still connect to the Internet via a wireless router with other devices yet.    Page says "Internet explorer cannot display the web page. When I click on diagnose connection problems, he said that it is my router or modem.  But my other devices still work.  I try the other suggestions but they just get into a circle with no result.   Any suggestions?  Ideas with my veryyyyyyy limited knowledge of computers.

  • Can someone else make my wireless connection network "secure"?

    Since the purchase of my laptop, I used a wireless internet network, the connection has always said he was an 'unsecured wireless network'. Last week he was playing so I went in the list of available networks and noticed she had changed to a "secure wireless network', I had never done that because I didn't know how to do it!

    It is possible that someone else has done? I called my service provider that I couldn't connect to internet at all and they were speaking to me in how to connect the ethernet cable to the computer and the modem. I don't know how to get my wireless connection, sorted, someone else had this problem or knows what to do?

    Thank you.

    First of all I must say that it s irresponsible to use the unsecured WiFi network!
    If the wireless network is not secure, everyone can get connected to the internet via your private internet access.

    Generally, each WLan router configuration mask is secure and you need a password to change the settings of the Wlan router.
    I put t know why you do not guarantee you Wlan because each Wlan router comes with the manual and configuration steps are described in all just way.

    If you n t know how to secure the Wlan router, ask a professional technician or first check the manual of the router.

  • How can I connect to someone who is hacking my network?

    How can I connect to someone who is hacking my network?

    Hi Frank,.

    What kind of network - your internet connection?  your intranet from home or the office (and it is wireless or wired or both)?  An ad - hoc network or a network based on the domain server (and if the latter, what type of server)?  The network hosts a web site, an exchange server that is accessible by internet, or also allowed incoming connections?  How many computers is on the network and what are the current use operating systems and who do you think are presented?  If you use a router, is protected by a router security identifier unique and a password (no admin / admin or other default standard settings, everyone knows) and a unique key and what type of security type (WPA, WPA2,...) and what type of encryption code?  This can be verified by the computer and others need to be checked or enabled via the router you can reach most likely through your browser by typing 192.168.1.1 where you would normally enter a URL.  If this isn't the correct code, then see below for IPCONFIG and would probably be the address that you want as the gateway by default and possibly the address of the DHCP server or the DNS server address as well and use what is there instead.  What type of method of internet access (DSL, cable, Satellite,...)?

    How do you know if that someone is hacking your system?  What evidence do you have that it happens or happened?  How do you think that piracy happens - happens through your connections in real-time (as if someone used a remote access or remote desktop) or it occurs because you seem to see the proof of it (if so, what evidence)?  I am trying to determine if a person has a path in your system directly or whether you are infected with malware that allows a periodic access or 'appear' as you are being hacked, when you are just infected.

    Do you notice it when it is real or only later after it occurred?  What exactly is the pirate make - information collection, change of information, install programs, remove programs or information, theft of bandwidth, or you are not sure and don't know exactly?  This happens only when you are connected to the internet or does it also occur when you are not connected and just using the computers and devices that are other interconnected?  If it isn't when it is connected to the internet, which helps limit the possibilities.

    If you are present and it's ongoing, click on start / all programs / accessories / right-click on command prompt and click Run as administrator.  Then type IPCONFIG/all and enter.  Which should display all connections to your computer, and if anyone is connected, this connection must appear, as well as login information and include information such as address TCP/IP (which may be useful to know).  Create a capture image or printscreen of the information.

    If you use Vista or Windows 7, go to start / Control Panel / Network and sharing Center / discover computers and devices.  Is there a link that doesn't seem right or that you don't recognize?  Come back and click on manage network connections.  Are there connections that you don't recognize?  If so, click on them and learn what you can about the properties and other information - create a capture of information or save a printscreen image.

    You use the Windows Firewall and is it activated and functioning?  Open and check exceptions and remove the items that you do not use or do not need - by default adds a lot of things that most people do not use. and everyone is a path in your system.  The less open ports, the better.  Do not remove everything you really need, but uncheck everything you don't need (you can always add it back later if the need ever happens).

    It's just a start on what to do to gather information.  I need the results and answers to give additional advice on what to do next - depending on what you have to say.

    Most likely, we will be able to best prevent access or possibly with the help of your ISP and the ISP of the hacker TCP/IP address (if we find the it), be able to identify who it is and stop it or help you gather enough information take legal or security action against the person or persons responsible.  Ago probably pirates out there that can do what you're tempted, but also provides methods of hacking (and that is basically what YOU want to do) is not something we support or help someone to do here.  To help you protect your system is one thing and we'll do what we can to help here - teach you how to hack the somone who is hacking you is quite another and we will not be involved in this.

    ***********************************************************

    In the meantime, in case there is an infection as opposed to a direct hacking, update and run a full scan with any security software you use.

    If you do not have because they can help, try the following programs. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx.

    Check the following compliments from Stephen Boots - MVP:

    S ' ensure that the Windows Firewall is enabled.

    S ' ensure that all critical updates or important, including service packs for the operating system and programs are installed from Microsoft Update (Windows Update).

    -Make sure that Internet Explorer is version 8 or 9 and implemented to date with all patches.

    -In Internet Explorer 8 or 9, use the SmartScreen filter.

    -Make sure that the Internet IE security settings are at least put to fire medium-high (default).

    -Turn on the pop-up blocker in Internet Explorer.

    -On Vista and Windows 7 make sure that User Account Control (UAC) and doesn't work with elevated privileges.

    -Make sure that automatic updates of Windows are set to notify at least, but the preferred setting is to download and install automatically. If you update manually, be sure to update as soon as possible after being informed of updates available.

    -Make sure that installed applications, including Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Flash and Java are at their latest versions. Many vendors are regularly updated and fixes security vulnerabilities.

    -Never click through links from unknown sources and be careful, even if they are from a "reliable".

    -Do not open attachments in unsolicited e-mail.

    -Practice safe web surfing.

    To ensure that you are not infected (or remove the suspicion that you are infected which is often the case in such situations and is done either by hackers or may appear as the pirates are active when it is just a system infected - or if more than one, you have several computers connected), please follow these compliments of recommendations of JimR1 - MVP :
