nycmuzik Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Go to Control Panel and then click on network connections. Select the connection you use to connect to the internet and then click on Properties. The go to Advanced and it should be the first option on top. If you still have a question just look for me on AIM.....MartyMixtape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorfern Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 If you're using a cable modem, isn't your computer essentially connected online to the web 24/7? I thought I heard this somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think so.. like you're permanently able to access the internet and AIM.. unless you shut your computer off of course..I hate firewalls though when I'm trying to get a file from someone via AIM..

skeemr4 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Firewalls are very necessary if u have cable....Cable gets hacked constantly....Try free programs like Zonealarm, and networkICE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
