Bad boy Warrior Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 GuysI usually go onto my websites and download a few files, but lately everytime i go i get an error message saying im already downloading (when im not). So i usually restart the computer/router to get another IP address and still says im downloading something. After tracking down the IP address i found its to do with 212.134.155.211. I searched who it is and links me to http://www.ripe.net/db/news/abuse-proposal-20050331.html - but none of it makes sense and i cant do anything about it.Anyone know what i can or why this is happening?thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 This doesn't have anything to do with XP. Moved to Malware Prevention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLXX Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ptr.ch?ip=212.134.155.211Do you have a firewall? Is it logging any incoming connection attempts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad boy Warrior Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 its not logging in any incoming connections (or at least i think anyway). I have zone alarm pro set up. Ive read those links before but should i be contacting them? and whats RIPE got to do with this and easynet????thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury_22 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) I recommend you to use TCPView !!!! very useful prog!! "TCPView is a Windows program that will show you detailed listings of all TCP and UDP endpoints on your system, including the local and remote addresses and state of TCP connections. On Windows NT, 2000 and XP TCPView also reports the name of the process that owns the endpoint. TCPView provides a more informative and conveniently presented subset of the Netstat program that ships with Windows. The TCPView download includes Tcpvcon, a command-line version with the same functionality. Also scan your comp with nod32 and use outpost (zone alarm pro ) Edited December 30, 2005 by Mercury_22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLXX Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 In the Internet applet of Control Panel, under Connections tab, click LAN Settings and look at "Use a Proxy Server" checkbox - you can disable it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury_22 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 In the Internet applet of Control Panel, under Connections tab, click LAN Settings and look at "Use a Proxy Server" checkbox - you can disable it from there. I don't think that will help you because if your ISP use proxy it doesn't matter if you disable or not your proxy setings you can try to use HIDE IP but...It is another proxy!!(maybe no one it's trying to download the same file like you!
