I've a PPPOE internet connection with a username and password. The local ISP guy has put a switch on my terrace and stretched the CAT 5 cable directly into my desktop ethernet card. So before connecting to the net with a dialer I've an internal IP address in the range of 192.168.0.* which is given to me by the local gateway (also a DHCP server). Once I get connected to the net I've 2 IP addresses the internal 192.168.0.* and the other live IP. Now I've removed the CAT 5 cable frm my Ethernet card and attached the same to my wifi router so now I get the internal IP from the wifi router in the range of 192.168.11.* I've configured the router with my PPPOE settings which means even if my computer is switched off my net connection is on coz the internet wire is attached to the wifi router now. So now heres the question, yesterday my PPPOE account expired but I dint switch off my router and today I can still access the net even though my account is expired!! When I check the tracert command it shows the first hop as my wifi router then it shows all the internet routers but NOT the local gateway which used to give me the 192.168.0.* IP address. Does it mean that I've bypassed the local gateway?? Can they come to know that am still using an expired account? There's no cruel intention from my side but being into IT am just curious to know whats wrong technically coz I dont know much about the PPPOE internet connection. Please help Sunny

Thank you, sir. That solves my curiosity:)

I am trying out NTFS permissions on my WinXP Professional + SP2 standalone system. I am logged in with Administrator account. I've given Read, List folder contents and Read & Execute permissions to the users group. Also a special permission Create files / Write data & Create folders / Append data has also been given by default. These are the only permissions given to the users group to a folder on D: Now when I login with a user account I can copy paste any file from that folder. Hows that possible? How can a user copy paste a file when hes given read permission only? However I cannot cut paste any file neither rename it nor delete it which is what read permission is meant for... Plz help.
