Green...thanks..I have learned a new command..netstat -ip..via play with netstat -tul and netstat -a and reading the posts..for what thats worth to my limited understanding
you are not clear as I am not being clear..sorry..this is not likely the place for such stupid questions.
haveing little understanding of how an os makes me vulnerable and dsl haveing been a gift and a free os I became curious about it and decided I wanted to learn more...I guess I started here but need more knowledge to ask a valid question in a forum..
what would regard dsl currently.. is if I am unaware of any required setup details regarding my particular choice of use..I think it is likely designed to be as safe as possible but due to great flexibility offered in dsl, thought that maby I had to turn off the dhcp or something if I used dial up..to insure correct porting..and that additional programs may add to vulnerability by listening when connections were made...In this case I thought dict was always listening...and may be stopped since I really never use the online part of dict ...ya I know.. WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT..sorry.. THANKS FOR RESPONDING
