while using kazaa i noticed very little or no connections for my download so
i ran the net dianostics in help and support.It seems there a problem with my
ip address.I use a motorola sb4200 modem and the test say this is
failing.This is what i get:
IPAddress = 82.41.120.211 (FAILED)
Pinging 82.41.120.211 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Ping statistics for 82.41.120.211:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss)
My pc/drivers are all up to date,but i dont know how to sort this,i haven,t
a clue.Can anyone help please?
my Ip is 82.41.120.211
subnet mask 255.255.248.0

The fact that you can't ping something doesn't mean it isn't alive and
working. ICMP traffic is blocked a lot of the time.
I don't know what the IP address you're pinging is, or from where. If this
is your home PC's public IP address, and you're trying to ping it from a
computer on the Internet, it's likely to fail. This is not a bad thing.

Kazaa, on the other hand, *is* a bad thing. Don't run it or anything like
it. You are asking for trouble, and that's not even getting into the issue
of legal trouble. Anybody who makes a living supporting PCs will tell you
the same thing - peer to peer file sharing software is Bad News. :(
