Hi,
does anyone know what happens to your ip-adress when you cancell your subscrition?
Is it possible to get your old one back?

Cheers

IP addresses work in many different ways.

In the UK:

Dial up users get a new one every-time they dial up.

Cable users get the same one based on where they live, even if they cancel and sign up again they get the same IP.

ADSL I think are allocated randomly when you sign up, so yes, it's possible to get a new one if you change providers.

Why did you want to know?

I have had some problems with hijacked MSN so don't really want the same ip as before.

if you had problems from hijacked msn, that came from within, not from without. I'd recommend posting a hjt log to see if you are infected.

[FONT=Tahoma]Please do this:

· Click here to download HJThis.exe
· Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
· Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
· By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
· Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Additional Tasks dialogue.
· Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
· Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
· At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
· Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
· Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
· Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
· DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required. [/FONT]
