xpmaniac4ever Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) Yeah that`s right. You`re ONLINE right after setup finishes installing the Networking Components. (tested by me). Just press CTRL+F10 after setup finishes installing networking components and do a ping google.com or iexplore.exe or mirc.exe or whatever u want. You are ONLINE !

RogueSpear Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Yea I think we already determined that we're online.@maxXPsoft, if you really want to know what's coming in and out, set up another machine with Ethereal, use a hub, and take a peek.
Synapse Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 MaxXP, you're about as paranoid as i am lol!i usually have my comp unplugged from the internet until i got my AV + Firewall up and running. no exploits, or any contacts to MS, for me.
maxXPsoft Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 (edited) MaxXP, you're about as paranoid as i am lol!Yes I am, thats why I don't fall for stuff like thishttp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=65253 Edited January 14, 2006 by maxXPsoft
RogueSpear Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 I just started to mess around with the Phishing Filter plugin Microsoft made for their MSN Toolbar. It actually picks up on stuff like this pretty effectively. I installed this on a few computers at a client site and so far they're pretty happy with it. I guess they have some people who really don't take all of the warnings to heart, so this is actually something they "need". I've always said most problems are due to the user, not the computer.
war59312 Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Well guess you cant be online if setup does not have the correct drivers for your nic?
