I read that the FBI is spying on Myspace users by putting a spyware program in their computers. I'm not up to anything, but the security breach the program represents is cause for concern, as it might be expolited by some hacker out there. has anyone had any problems with their passwords, account information, or other data being stolen?

Where we live there is no cable or hi speed internet - heck, not even a tele line. I am looking to move my shoppe to our home but need hi speed internet to work.

Is satellite a good option? Last year I looked into it and it seemed pricey with no guarantee of service - plus a friend said it was as slow as dial up.

Has it changed for the better? Can you recommend any company for this or a better solution??

Thank you!!!

Would could be causing this?

I have a list of domain names in column A. And, in Column B, I would like to show the IP address of the site in the cell from column A.

I have a VBA function that gets the IP address:
GetIPFromHostName

So, if I want to retrieve the IP address for yahoo.com, I would type yahoo.com in A1, and in Cell B1, I would enter:

=GetIPFromHostName(A1)

This should (theoretically) display the IP for yahoo.com. Mind you, don't get hung up on multiple IPs here - that's not the problem.

The function does not work when it's in the Excel cell. It has worked in the past, infrequently and on different occasions. But, other times it does not work at all.

Complicating things further, this piece of a sub function in VBA pops a message box works and it works great, reads right from the Excel sheet:

MsgBox GetIPFromHostName( Range("A1").Value)

I'm so pwned by this. Help if you can!

BTB, I do not believe timeouts are the problem either -- since the alerts provide instant replies to the IP requests.

I live in `the sticks` in spain, recently bought a new pc.my mode of phone and web connection is via a `track` phone, which has a built in modem which has to be used.but a serial cable must be the means of connection to the pc, ok on my old pc cos it has various means of hooking up, however my new pc only has a network socket, no modem or serial connections. I fitted an internal modem as a long shot but no deal, pc makers wrongly assume that everybody has broadband or cable. my isp telefonica offer no help at all, couldn`t care less attitude, and the electrical shop I bought from just do the continental thing and shrug their shoulders.
one of you clever `boffs` out there must have an answer to this question, I like to believe that nothing`s impossible
regards
mike

I recently purchased a Vongage router from someone on Ebay.

Before the sale, the seller assured me that their account was paid-in-full and the device had been removed from the account. I have EBay messages documenting this.

Well, the device hasn't been cancelled. In fact, it still works - using the previous owner's phone number! Needless to say, Vonage won't switch a live, uncancelled device to my account (nor should they).

I sent a message two days ago to try to resolve the issue and have not received a response.

It appears EBay has three different ways I can try to resolve this, and I wondered which one(s) are the best to use in my circumstances:
1) SquareTrade dispute resolution/mediation.
2) Item not received as described report.
3) Send negative feedback.

So far, I haven't done any of these - I've just tried to contact the seller. However, I have a hunch the seller is going to dodge my calls, so I was wondering what a good next step would be.

I've put new anti spyware programs and anti virus on and I still have an annoying icon in the taskbar that pops a message up every few minutes telling me I need to buy new software. All other traces of the trojan horse seem to be gone, only the icon in the task bar is left but it's the worst. To make matters worse it's my work computer.
