The dangers of leaving your modem firewall with default password anduser id

[Dustin]

Nope. Wrong *again* Dustbin. When will you *ever* get it right, my
reformed hacker but still a turd friend?

Some more reading for you. Saves time. I'm sure you'd ask more newbie
questions about controlling who can do remote access...

And no, it's not perfect security as you can clone a MAC ID.

You're dismissed little man. Vamos.

Google is your friend Ray. You could always try reading the docs that come
with your devices tho. Before you ask newbie questions. And then berate
someone for helping your sorry wanker arse out..

This covers your newbie question. Was a pleasure, educating (0wning) you
again.

You seem to be confusing modem/router combination units that some ISPs
are providing. I don't have that configuration. I have a cable modem,
which feeds a linksys router. Linksys model WRT54G to be exact with
newest linksys firmware. The linksys router which feeds my network and
provides the computers with an internet connection will NOT allow access
to it's configuration from the WAN port (in this case, a cable modem)
Nor will it grant you configuration access if you are linked via wifi.
You must be hard lined in.

I see what happened. You researched the issue on Google (with two posts it is clear you did that over time), found out that I was right after all (that you can indeed remotely access in 'admin' mode a cable modem, especially,as you point out, the default is often for remote access) and posted thesecorrective posts.

So it seems you did lern something after all Dustbin, even in your advancedage. Good for you.

You're welcome for the ehJEWcation. Eh? Yeah I'm part Jewish and positively charged. Whoosh! Right over your flat tap, criminal hacker type.

Vamos!

Umm, no. I didn't research anything. I've had this router for years. I
provided you some educational material in which to read, as you felt
confident I was wrong on the subject.

I notice not only do you try and spin your way out of it, you even try
to discuss another device entirely. A cable modem. Instead of a router.

I told you from the getgo that my network is not accessable from the WAN
side. You can't dispute that, no matter what spin you try to place on
it.

I know not to answer any questions for you now. Even if they're semi on
topic.

Have fun.

He he. What a howler! You are now claiming that for security purposes there is a fundamental difference between a DSL modem and a cable modem? You really that stupid or living in the past with token rings and networks thatwill go down if somebody unplugs a cable modem in the chain? That went out in the 80s.

Oh I have a feeling that we'll be hearing from your fat mouth again.
