Yeah, nmap is "a software" worth checking out. Even more fun would be<br>to scan your local subnet in RR for web servers to see what your<br>neighbors computers are hosting.<br><br>nmap -p80 <a href="http://127.69.76.168/20">
127.69.76.168/20</a><br><br>That would search your local subnet in roadrunner for webservers. I<br>got /20 from the <a href="http://255.255.240.0">255.255.240.0</a> subnet, and that IP address is the one<br>the netgear gave as the public. Try it on your own.

<br>I don't know) and shut off our service until I talked with someone and<br>promised not to do it again or something. Port scanning your neighbors<br>is something that they really should detect, if they do or not.<br>

<br>you will not be allowed to bring your router with you if you have to spend<br>the night in a hospital for any reason. Anyway, the easiest way to cause such<br>a device to release and renew its lease is to momentarily disconnect it from
<br>the DCOPLP (pronounced "deek-o-plop") network by removing the black barrel<br>shaped jack from its socket, counting backwards from 119 to zero by seventeens,<br>and plugging it back in.<br><br> </div><br></div>
