    What if google offers free internet in india??

    Having a firewall wont protect you w.r.t a wireless network in most cases.The major cases will be of war driving,sniffing user data,passwords through thin air. Which IMHO no tool will help you unless you are using encryption such as WPA a bare minimum. Forget about WEP then,the minimum number...

    Constant Network Activity

    First & foremost Zone Alarm will only allow you to block incoming,outgoing connections made by programs from your computer.I'm not sure if ZA has lately added spyware detection & scanning capabilities but a thorough scan of Spybot or MS Anti-Spyware is what I would suggest. Secondly constant or...

    Using 2 Connections at the same time

    Are we talking of using 2 connections for load balancing,redundancy,fail-over or multi-linking[combining 2 connections]. If its the latter case then if I'm not wrong much of the settings,hardware has to be configured at the ISP.There is nothing you can do about it.And I believe with indian...

    [Solved] explorer.exe infected !

    Firstly I hope you are denying "explorer.exe" internet access by blocking it at the application layer through a software firewall. As for the infection can you provide a few more details to us like which port its trying to communicate to? what domain or IP address? For the above you could use...

    port forwarding mtnl

    Sorry to burst the bubble but a home user using the net is one thing & a home user getting 0wNeD because he enabled DMZ without knowing the consequences is another.Ignorance is bliss is a quote I dont believe in & preach. If I get my basics correct then a NAT device is also sometimes referred...

    port forwarding mtnl

    Whoa people recommending DMZ for a home user here ! I say having a DMZ & getting 0wNeD go hand in hand.In no way is it recommended for a home user.It will completely expose your computer directly to the internet which obviously means more chances of getting 0wNeD which otherwise would have your...

    port forwarding mtnl

    Have they placed or given you a router at your end? If yes then which brand & model,accordingly you'll have to configure it from the router web configuration page. If not then I'm afraid the only thing you could do is call up the ISP technical support & ask them to open ports for the...

    I would suggest getting another pc at your premises & pulling that same wire & connecting both machines through a hub/switch or whatever you have been using. Then look at the ping output & report back here. On top of my head I hope there arent any strong bends or cuts on the wire which could...
