the problem we are finding is my router with my login details is pluged into her line on a completely different exchange and it still works

hmmmmmm

Don't you just love the fact that user names and passwords are authenticated after the telephone exchange.

Rik · Sep 10, 2009, 19:00:54

They're authenticated at the BT radius servers, Colin.

Colin Burns · Sep 10, 2009, 19:16:05

yea now the question is how do i stop danni using my bandwidth

Rik · Sep 10, 2009, 19:17:11

Get IDNet to reset your password.

Colin Burns · Sep 10, 2009, 19:19:59

ok how do i stop her without losing internet access as im using it to

im thinking cabling ties

Rik · Sep 10, 2009, 19:20:38

Much more difficult, Colin. MAC address filtering in the router?

JohnUK89 · Sep 10, 2009, 19:20:56

I'm thinking a pair of scissors...

Rik · Sep 10, 2009, 19:21:46

I find a scalpel is so much more efficient, John.

JohnUK89 · Sep 10, 2009, 19:22:45

For cutting Ethernet cables? A little surgical, isn't it?

Colin Burns · Sep 10, 2009, 19:22:54

hmm MAC filtering sound good but im too lazy to do it.

and john it would be your RJ11 cable your cutting

and thanks for the support Rik

Colin Burns · Sep 10, 2009, 19:24:47

hmmm that would kind of kill someones internet and i was thinking you were going to use it to get out of the cable tie hand cuffs i was going to make for you

JohnUK89 · Sep 10, 2009, 19:25:39

Scissors work on cable ties too, Colin

Colin Burns · Sep 10, 2009, 19:30:19

but if your handcuffed with them how are you going to use the sissors hmmmmm

Rik · Sep 10, 2009, 19:31:36

Wedge them in a drawer?

Colin Burns · Sep 10, 2009, 19:34:21

good idea Rik there not at the keyboard at the moment so feel free to suggest a couple more

Colin Burns · Sep 10, 2009, 19:35:51

JohnUK89 · Sep 10, 2009, 19:37:10

Sebby · Sep 10, 2009, 23:29:04

What is this thread even about?

Simon_idnet · Sep 11, 2009, 03:20:59

It's not good to have two routers logging-in with the same credentials at the same time because they both then get assigned the same IP address and if you have two end points live at the same time both claiming to have that IP address then neither will receive complete routing.

Steve · Sep 11, 2009, 16:35:12

So does this mean I can use my username/password on any idnet adsl enabled customers phoneline?

Rik · Sep 11, 2009, 16:36:40

I think so, Steve, but wouldn't guarantee it.

Steve · Sep 11, 2009, 16:54:19

Much better to use someone's bandwidth than your own (legally of course)

Rik · Sep 11, 2009, 17:00:30

Of course.

from our little test we did yesterday it would be a more than likely yes

when we did the evil testy we basicly unpluged my router and took it to dannis and pluged it in so that i couldnt be online with my own details at 2 seperate places.

As we have accidently done that before while i loaned danni my spare router while she was doing testing. which caused the error you were talking about simion as the network didnt know which line to send the data to.
