I paid the bill and got it turned back on. Now, I'm at my school, on my laptop and when I use the wireless Internet here, and try to open Internet Explorer and visit google.com, a page from my ISP pops up saying my service has ben disconnected because of bill pay [09:44] My question is... I'm not on my ISP connection, I'm at school on their wireless connection. How do I get IE to stop forwarding me to a "your service has been disconnected" page hosted by my ISP? [09:45] I've erased my history, etc, rebooted.. it still comes up [09:46] stop using IE, perhaps :) [09:48] CMz: This is a support forum for the arpnetworks.com VPS host. [09:48] I know, i figured someone here might now [09:48] know [09:49] Ah. Well in that case: stop using IE. [09:49] well, I'm just curious what my ISP put on my computer that makes it forward to their website [09:49] This is a fairly new computer, nothing installed on it [09:50] Check your /etc/resolv.conf for anything suspicious there. [09:50] And netstat -rn [09:59] or they've installed some kind of pseudo-malware BHO [10:00] I'm no expert at finding those though, so no advice to offer. :P [10:00] hehe i wouldnt doubt it [10:00] I'd go with ye olde "use a different browser" as mike-burns suggested [10:00] im using Firefox also, i just wanted to get whatever off there, that is on there, if it is some sort of spyware or something [10:01] can my ISP really install software on my computer, without my permission? just by being on their cable network? [10:02] sure, same way malware authors do it [10:02] although it's pretty dirty [10:02] FF works ok though? [10:02] if so, sounds like a BHO rather than them jiggering with DNS [10:02] I know my own ISP does or has catch DNS queries in flight [10:02] but if I'm not on their network, that obviously doesn't work [10:03] hrm [10:03] they used it to redirect NXDOMAIN to their own custom Yahoo search page, drove me bonkers because then my browswer thought the domain actually existed, and kept it in history [10:03] ya i dont like then contorlling my dns records [10:03] uhg [10:13] *** CMz has quit IRC () [10:42] I *hate* when places hijack NXDOMAIN responses.
