Cambridge Chat (previously New Cambridge Students Entry 2004)

I am running a sshd on my windows .

Is that King's where it says Oxford?

Did you do a gap year? If so, dude - there are going to be people two years (at least) younger than you.

argh, i suddenly feel alarmingly old now that i'm a second year, given that the reality that there will be people a whole year younger than me at emma has finally dawned on me. I wanna be a first year again, this isn't fair!

Someone has been using my IP for the last 15 minutes . I am so going to find out who this bastard is, once I do, I'll get Nigel to give him/her (although him is more likely) hell.

you know, when you're on a network, your IP as seen by the internet is often a shared one, in that all the people on the network appear to have the same IP, but rather it is the router that has the IP and knows where to send things. I severely doubt someone has been spoofing your IP from within the network!

DUDE! Windows complained about someone else was using my IP and can't get itself on the network. And my IP is what everyone else in this world sees. There's not another one.

Patch: 131.111.0.0 to 131.111.255.255 belong to cambridge, that's enough to give every computer in cambridge a unique IP.

that's not true, because my home network has at most 6 computers running on it at once, and yet all of them appear to be on the same IP address to outside destinations.

And if it's windows complaining about getting onto the network, are you sure it's not the MAC address, since the IP addresses are normally automatically designated. I doubt someone is using the same IP as you from within the network. If it is an IP issue I would have thought that would be an external server trying to see what your IP is.
