You can't tell for sure. Just like God, ghosts can neither be proven nor disproven. It's something many people believe, but there is no verifiable evidence either way.

write some kind of a chron to check if the apache (or which ever webserver you are using) is still up and running. Make that chron send you a mail if that is not so.\nI can think of very simple ways to do that in Linux, but dont know enough about windows to help\n\nmy $0.02

that ip address might be a linksys router, for a home wireless network, or some other type of secure server, have you tried to ping it from a CMD promt

Get a good sniffer or packet analyzer. \n\nIt will allow you to monitor what traffic is being sent across your network.  You can also open the packets to see where they headed and where they are from and depending on your knowledge the content of the packet.

I would run some spyware and anti-virus software, or go into the control panel and check to see if it has installed something.\n\nOccasionally happenes to me too, even though I have not accessed these sites.

check your wireless router software

You could also do a service scan of the IP address to see what services are being ran on that IP address, or what domain name may be associated to that IP address.\n\nYou can do a lookup of the information about an IP address at http://www.domainwhitepages.com

You might check your hosts file to see if things are amuck in there.  It's located at:\nC:&#92;Windows&#92;System32&#92;drivers&#92;etc\n\nJust open it in notepad.

Do you mean it is detecting existing wireless networks?  If so, then you should be good to go.  \n\nYou should have some kind of icon in your system try for your wireless utility.  The icon should also indicate the wireless adapter's status (connected, netowrks available, out of range, or no networks available).  Double-click on it to look at what the status is.  If it shows one or more wireless networks available, determine by their SSID which one you want to access and double click it. The SSID refers to each network's name--it should be somewhat obvious, but you will still see a few named "default".\n\nYour utility may ask if you want to connect on a one-time basis or set up a profile for the connection to simplify access in the future.  You would use this for a home network, or perhaps one at a location you regularly frequent.\n\nIf the network is encrypted, you will need to supply the necessary passphrase for the network to permit access.  Public networks should not have this feature; it is common with home networks and other closed or private networks.

You may have a virus posing as a security certificate.  Write down something from the pop-up and enter it into a search engine to see if it matches a virus.  If you have a router, see if your computer is continuously accessing the internet.

make sure there is no new interference, like stereo equipment, subwoofers, celphones, make sure your router and modem aren't near anything that can cause interference, go to pcpitstop.com and check your internet speed, see if it really slower and check and make sure the neighbors are not borrowing your bandwidth

look on the internet for "traceroute"\nit allows you to trace all the conncetion your computer makes to another computer\nping means that you can test to see whether a computer is on the internet or not.

Yes, there is. Install an application like nagios (freeware) or Look@Lan (freeware). Have that monitor the IP address of your router.\nBut it's usually not easy to understand all traffic that is going on in your network.

you may not be getting a connection make sure you are getting internet service and go from there is your home page coming up
