Please forgive me if I've posted this in the wrong forum. I looked like the best fit to me. If I'm in the wrong forum could you please direct me to a better fitted one/ Thank you very much for your help. Can anyone tell me what these messages in my windows Event Viewer (In the Administraative Tool folder) mean? My machine: Laptop wired to cable high speed internet/connection (Comcast Cable). Window XP Mozilla Firefox 3, latest updates. This message looks like I'm being hacked? Type: Warning Event ID: 1007 Your computer has automatically configured the IP address for the Network Card with network address 00183998576F. The IP address being used is 169.254.54.68. Note: The above is not nor never was my IP address. I'm located in the U.S. and this IP comes up as being Australian (and says it's used worldwide). Another message I have listed in Event Viewer many times: Type: Warning Event ID: 4226 TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts.
I updated with the patch change the limit. Testing socks proxies seemed to be the problem with Windows Service Pack2 new tcpip limitations. Hopefully that will be the answer.
that IP address range is actually the local link range specified in the standard if it cant find a valid IP address via DHCP.
Thanks for your reply. That's over my head though, can you explain in a simpler way for a simpler person? I run a script that runs through a list of proxies I feed into a notepad into the programme (if this helps give more information). Cheers!
