Re: Adelphia Blocking Pings
I ping Adelphia all the time, just to verify whether servers are online. Sometimes modem is online and servers can go offline, just "ping www.adelphia.net" |

Um pinging www.adelphia.net says nothing about their servers being online...all it says is that the server that hosts the webpage (which is not anywhere near the place that service your internet) is online/offline

If you truly want to verify your local connection, leave a port open, then make a TCP / UDP connection attempt to verify connectivity. Another utility that can be used is a form of traceroute that uses TCP packets instead of ICMP....

checkout www.privacy.net.
That website has links to other websites that can do tcp/udp and various other scans to show you want is open on your connection. That's what I use to troubleshoot locally before i invest anymore time looking at my own situation. |

There's a reason for that. That's the port where this week's virii come through. Port 139 was blocked to mitigate the spread of the mess.

| i thought port 135 was the port that was the attack port.
people do use port 139 for other things besides viruses. anything we can do about it? many computers on cable and dsl ranges have had this happened but if u have a business line this doesnt seem to be effected. i.e. t1 + |
