OMG.. I'm so angry.

some dumbass is using his router and cycling through everyone IP address and kick people off... errrr.. urge to kill rising. If i find him i'm going to smash his computer.. AAHHHHHH

anyone know how to track this guy down?

what?

lol, muahaha. okay in lamen's terms some one hooked up a router to their basic lan port (im asuming he lives in a college of some sort ) and it sorts thru every computer on the connection and... mmm it can cause some havoc.... u cant find out who... maybe u can get an ip address cuz routers need ip addresses as well... but you have 999 guess's to guess.

Im not sure how he can use a simple router get other people's ips unless they are on the same network... but if he is somehow, you could download an incoming ip tracing program, and see if you can get his ip. then take that ip and use an ip location program to get his longitude and latitude to the .0001 second.

yea i'm at college right now. and he is freaking going this for a while.. soo annoying..

i must track him down and report his ass.. and later open up a can of good old fasion wooop ass.

Dude.. Look at your router's log.. See who's computer is renewing the IP's most frequently. Or if you can, associate a static ip for specific mac addresses.. That way, if he/she wants to change the ip again, they will need a new nic. >>

exactly - I thought that as well. Normally with any static IP (cable, dsl, college net for you lamers >>) you MUST or well FORCED to associate it with a MAC. Now, in your dorm or house, you can have that mac be .... a router or main computer. Mine is a router. Soooooo, for a hacker to block your computer from that IP address he'd have to either A. be directly connected to your router, or B. be directly connected to the router that yours is talking too I.E. Charter Communications, Verizon, etc - unlikely. Basically, what your saying is that he is renewing his IP numerous times, and thus when yours is picked, disconnects you from your net. Well as stated above, associate your IP with a Mac address (normally underneath your router on a sticker) or if thats been done... then check to make sure you've got a secure network if wireless. If thats been done, then contact your service provider because someone very good is hacking there networks and renewing IP via change of MAC - again... unlikely.

Hope this helped

gimi his ip address and i can find him for ya. no garantees though, if he knows enough about computers he should be able to block all my tracers

that is the thing.. he doesnt have an IP.. he uses everone else. and cycles through all of them.

Like I said, look at the DHCP logs.. It will tell you who used what and such.. And backward trace it..

something you could do is get a rounter (if you dont already have one) and use it between your computer and the connection, get one with the latest firewall etc and set is so that only your ip can access it befor you plug it into the outside line.

but yeah it will show up in the DHCP logs IF it is set to log them.
