My hardware firewall quit today. I'm sending it back to Linksys and they've been cool about it, so I just have my Norton software wall. And man, am I getting "pinged" by all these "remote systems" trying to access my computer! Normally, my router blocked that I guess. This sucks and is making me paranoid! Does anyone else have this problem or notice this?

about three weeks ago my computer got so infected it wasn't funny. Something got in and took over Norton, so it refused to do scans or to update.
I was at school when the guy came to fix itm so I don't have any clue what actually happened cuz my father knows nothing about computersRoth Army Militia -
This pinging crap is why I picked up the Linksys! But it wasn't this bad before I bought the router last October. I even have the Mozilla Firefox browser, which cuts down on spyware.Originally posted by Ally_Kat

I have a linksys, but we have it more because my brother uses it for his PS2.
My parents are so far behind in understanding the computer world that whenever something comes up in an Adaware search, they actually blame us as if we knowingly let it come on the computer.Roth Army MilitiaComment

All different ones. Even local IP's I think. But Norton is "recommending" that I let them access 'cause they are remote systems.Originally posted by Dr. Love

Linksys hardware has the lifespan of warm cottage cheese. I've owned two Linksys hubs and a switch - the switch blew out one port at a time, and a hub just flat went tits-up on me. I'm running a Linksys 9-port here in the bedroom, and I'm surprised it's still breathing after two years. I usually go with 3COM when possible, but I have 3COM certifications, so I admit I'm biased.Comment

They're going to replace the thing, so I won't complain, however next time I'll keep 3COM in mind.Originally posted by Viking
