What is the actual point of an ISDN connection?
150978
Point #1: to provide a connection at faster than dial-up speeds, when access to faster broadband service is unavailable.\n\nPoint #2: To provide a back-up connection method to a broadband solution when a connection absolutly, positivily has to be there.

The ISP is expecting a connection from a PC, using its software, not from a PS2.\n\nBuy a DSL router and plug your PC and PS2 into this for simltanious use, and you will over come this issue.

To expand on what n4mwd said, that looks like it's probably a dynamic IP address assigned by somebody's dialup ISP in Cincinnati. So unless you can subpeona the ISP for the info as to which of their users was logged in and using that address at a particular time, you probably can't get any more specific than "somebody in Cincinnati who is a customer of fuse.net".

what OS are you using? if you are using windows XP you can access this information by going to Start->Control Panel->Network Connections and you will see the connection you have for your dial up. Double click on the connection and you should be able to see the connection speed, the ip address and your routable DNS server.\n\nTo have this show when you are connected right click on the connection goto properties and check show icon in notification area when iam connected.

A global network, such as the Internet, is usually one big WAN, or in the case of the Internet a collaboration of interconnected WANs. The WANs on the Internet are owned by governments and companies, usually ISPs and general bandwidth service providers. When you want your LAN connected to a global network such as the Internet, you contact an ISP or bandwidth provider and purchase a connection to their WAN. Their WAN is interconnected with all the other WANs that make up the global network.\n\nIn short, when a LAN is connected to the Internet, it connects to a WAN that is interconnected with many other WANs on a global scale. These WANs vary from core WANs, which make up the backbone of the internet, to service WANs that provide means for LANs around the world to connect to the global network.\n\nI hope this is what you were looking for.

That's very likely because your adapter can handle alot more\nthan you're outside link can provide.\nI.e. if you have a 100mbit network card connected to a broadband\ndsl modem with 6mbit you can easily see that the network utilization\nwon't go up too far. It's calculated by the link speed of the adapter.\nThat doesn't have to be the speed you're actually connected with\non the other side of the modem or router.

if u r using dialup then what is the need to assign the ip address, just plugin telephone line in modem, connect modem to ur system if this is external and dial isp number.....

ISPs block port 80 inbound so that you can't run a webserver from your connection at home, they dont block outgoing, so I'm confused on what you are asking...

The way I explain it to is kids is like this "pretend your computer is a phone, and you want to talk to another friend who is on a different computer" The you can either type in the IP addy, or the name of the domain. You are not connected though the internet.\n\nOK Now I will get more indepth. If you connect to the Internet through an Internet Service Provider (ISP), you are usually assigned a temporary IP address for the duration of your dial-in session. If you connect to the Internet from a local area network (LAN) your computer might have a permanent IP address or it might obtain a temporary one from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. In any case, if you are connected to the Internet, your computer has a unique IP address. \n\nNo one owns the Internet is taken as a truism.\n\n The infrastructure on which the global network runs is owned by a handful of powerful corporations that can, and often do, use their control over the Internet backbone to their advantage in business negotiations.\n\n\nHope this helps\n\nSapphyre

If I am not mistaken, when you plug in the ethernet cable (which looks like a huge telephone wire), your computer should recognize that it is receiving information via this cable.  Your Internet Service Provider may have additional, service-specific, instructions that must be followed.  There may also be variations on these directions if you have to run your connection through both a router and a modem.  Hopefully, when your provider activated your service, all of that was done for you and then you can just "plug and play."

A hub works at the hardware level (physical layer) and simply repeats electrical signals - whatever comes in goes out.  A switch works at a logically higher level (data link layer) and does not forward data packets out a port when the port of the target device is known - in other words, it's smarter and helps reduce traffic.\n\n1) I've never seen a router that doesn't allow you to program the WAN side ip address, gateway, and subnet, and the LAN side ip address and subnet.\n\n2) The ip subnet defines the size of your network (the maximum number of connections possible).  On the WAN side of your router, use the subnet the ISP gives you.  On the Lan side, I suggest that you code your ip addresses starting 192.168.x.x and use 255.255.255.0 as a subnet (there are a LOT of other choices, for a lot of oother reasons, but this sounds like the first time you're trying this, so I'm trying to keep it simple).  The gateway defines the address of a router that knows where to forward things you don't.  On the WAN side of your router, use the gateway the ISP gives you.  On the LAN side of the router, the gateway IS the router's LAN ip address.  The DNS are two addresses where a "smart computer" lives that can translate logical names (like www.yahoo.com) to ip addresses (like 214.56.78.211).  On the WAN side, use the two addresses your ISP gives you.  On the Lan side, if your router supports DNS forwarding, use the ip address of the router as the primary and leave the secondary blank.  If not, use the two addresses the ISP gave you.\n\n3) You are only in a domain if you are running some flavor of Windows Server as a domain controller, and all client computers have to log onto the domain to get access.  These you see normally at larger companies.  A Workgroup is simply a bunch of computers on the same subnet with the same workgroup name (so that they can see each other).  You can have workgroups in a domain, but you can also use workgroups without a domain.  Most home networks and very small businesses share files using peer-to-peer sharing and workgroups, without using a domain.\n\n4) A hub is a repeater.  It just repeats the signal.  Now, if we're talking fibre-optics, you still have repeaters (they aren't called hubs), but they do simply repeat a signal.  All transmission lines have a limit as to how far they can run.  If you need to run them further, you have to enbed repeaters into the network.

If you have DSL then you have an ATM connection with IP running over it. Ethernet is the connection that you plug you computer into in the DSL modem.\n\nATM is usually but not always fiber and is base on cells that are 53 bytes. To use with IP it need to run lan emulation (LANE) or classical IP (ClIP)\nEthernet use frames instead of cells. It usually but not always runs on twised pairs CAT-5. The interfaces are much less expensive.

Chances are, you're either using iptables or (if it's a very old distribution) ipchains.\n\nEssentially you create rules for iptables (for example, by default deny incoming connections, excpet this port, this port, and this port, etc)\n\nYou can read up on iptables at

is it connected to the p2p networks?\n\nare u behind firewall?

IMO it's the DNS server [which translates names into ip numbers]. Call your ISP - it may be their problem, not yours.

That is a question which requires a hugh amount of time to answer.  You'd do better to just start searching the web for information on networking.  Also, "network" is something of an ambiguous term. Are you referring implementations of OSI?

it establish the dos mode Telnet session with any of device which has telnet port opened. Normally you use this to connect to any of your router, switch or unix box from your windows computer.\n\nHope it will help.
