check your ip's see if they are very close.

maybe they are because i also live in Belgium... Gyrbo, which provider do you use?
Epgs

they prob. run you through the same proxy and in that case it would create mixups. now thats pretty cool

Do you guys have access to each others accounts?

The accounts are based on the username and password (saved in the cookie, at least if you have that enabled), so having the same IP wouldn't give them access to each other's accounts.

I guess for some unknown reason the "welcome back" message bases things on the IP address? Doesn't make much sense.

it's only 'welcome back, gyrbo' I see.

I'm guessing 'telenet' is a ISP -- and not a misspelling

I believe an IRC friend of mine has an IP that starts with 6. I'm not sure though.

I have a friend who has an IP that starts with 24 too. The next three numbers are all single digits.

Try me, I have ZoneAlarm Pro! But most of my apps just don't have acces to the net. Still need to configure it. It blocks everything!

Speaking of zonealarm, and DoS reminds me that grc.com (http://www.grc.com) was stricken by a DoS attack. grc is the home of the "shields up" test to see how open your computer is. they also promote zonealarm

Woah, I just read through the entire thing and I think I have a Zomebie on my system... Then again, I tried it again and I didn't have one.

I read like 1/5 of that thing and gave up... it was too long, and it seriously damaged my patience. ;)
