GPRS???

Hi

I connect to the internet by connecting my Nokia 6600 handphone and my laptop - through infrared to the modem in the phone, I then dial up and log into the GPRS service of my sim card provider. When i am online LnS does not register any activity and says i am off line. Any recommendations?

Hi,

What is the list of network adapter detected by Look 'n' Stop in the options ?

Frederic

 

Well thats just it, there is nothing (except the usual WAN miniport) which i used for normal dial up connections...

 

Could you run the following tool and tell me what adapters are detected ?

Thanks,

Frederic

 

I am using the GPRS facility now.

In LnS it shows that i am not connected (no IP registered), and the Wan Miniport is not ticked (i have the selection set on automatic), when i run your tool it comes up with:

MS TCP Loopback interface
Adress MAc: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Adress ip: 127.0.0.1

Wan <PP/SLIP> Interface
Adress MAc: 00:XX:XX:00:00:00
Adress ip: 10.xxx.xx.xx

xxx = Real numbers....

Waddayarekon chief?

 

Fred,

Still there?

Hi,

Sorry for the late answer.
You should select the "Wan Miniport" adapter and in advanced options, you should remove "10;" from the IP exclusion list.

Frederic

 

Thanks fred,

that works.

Why do you exclude the IP 10? is that for safety. If so, am i now surfing unsafe with this enabled?

thanks

Hi,

I had the same problem when I using a vodafone datacard.

But doing the above fixed it.

I also use my laptop at home and connect by wlan. Will I have to change the network interface everytime? Is there no way automatic selection can do it?

thanks

This is my result on...http://probe.hackerwatch.org/probe/probe.asp

How do i sort out the open / unsecure ports?

 

Hi,

Except if you added this port to be open, there is no reason to have only this 443 port seen as open and the other completely stealth.

Could you perform the test with another online scan to confirm the result ?

If the result is confirmed, then the reason could be another machine/server is answering to the 443 requests between your PC and the remote scanner.

Hi Frederic,

Thanks for your quick response.

I've just realised I did the previous test when I was connected via www.onspeed.com

I stopped onspeed and did the test again and all ports are secure / invisible.

Does this mean my laptop is not secure when I surf through onspeed?

Test complete.

No open ports were found.

 

I don't know what is onspeed but I suppose it is a kind of proxy server.
If this is the case, when doing the online scan you are actually scanning this server and not your PC. So, in other words the scan result would be irrelevant, when done this way, and your PC seems to be secure.
