Originally did setup with my current Dynamic IP, monitoring did not work. Did what crewfan69 did (put in IP number as static) and monitor worked.

Then without removing Static IP, checked box for Dynamic IP and put number in. Monitor worked.

Let it run this way for a day, then removed only the Static IP number and the monitor stopped.

Have now returned to entries in both Static and Dynamic (with Dynamic still checked) and monitoring has resumed.

Looks to me like the "dynamic feature" does not really work as advertised.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22172435 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 16:39:30 EDT Re: Charter HSI Line Monitoring - It's free http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22144134 skj : Invite sent. :-)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22144134 Sat, 28 Mar 2009 16:13:36 EDT Re: Charter HSI Line Monitoring - It's free http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22142840 ZeroFill : Hi, just signed up for the service.

Has anyone else using line monitoring had trouble with viruses, trojans, etc? Thanks.
I'm surprised there's been no response to this yet. Making your router "pingable" doesn't change the fact that your equipment is still sitting behind your router. It will show a "I'm home" signal to anyone scanning your IP, which is debatable in terms of security.

The reason your software firewall triggered when the tech hooked up the modem directly is because he bypassed your router which was blocking most (if not all) of the every day nonsense that is the world of viruses and trojans seeking new victims.

Since the average home router doesn't allow inbound connections w/o an associated outbound request (unless you configure it otherwise), these "attacks," or scans never make it to the software firewall on your computer(s), so no "alarms" are ever triggered.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20466244 Sun, 11 May 2008 17:08:51 EDT Re: Charter HSI Line Monitoring - It's free http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20384860 RKBA : I'm with markopoleo as far as becoming "pingable." I keep remembering the time when the two Charter techs came out to install my broadband cable. Everything went well until one of the techs asked if he could hook up their cable box directly to my computer as they normally do (bypassing my router), so that he could show the new-hire how things are "normally" connected. About 20 seconds later my anti-virus program popped open a window warning of some sort of virus or trojan attack. That was the very first time that had ever happened, and although my software firewall caught and stopped the "attacker", I am VERY hesitant to make my router pingable.

Has anyone else using line monitoring had trouble with viruses, trojans, etc?

Go to your Line Monitoring page. Click on the "Setup" link and than click on "edit" on the right side of the page. You can than type in your "Note" in the "Public comment" box. Be sure to click on the "Update Monitor" tab when you are done.

Glad you got it working in one way or another.. The only purpose of the DNS proggies is so it is rather hands off,.. so you can always, 3 yrs from now still have your connection going,..

My IP rarely changes either, despite it being dynamic, but that is the nature of the IP pool from Charters DHCP in alot of places.

As for not liking 'being pingable'.. Why? It does not compromise security in anyway. At the very worst a group of people could do a DNS attack through ICMP headers and bog down your "home router" lol.. Very unlikely.

Are you often the target of someone? Having your IP exposed, which it isn't, unless someone is actively looking for it,.. is a likely cause for trouble ?

If so, I understand =)

Marko -- Yes that screen looks fine, all you have to do on your Router config is to be "pingable", in which you are according to that screenshot.

Did you try all of the DNS clients? I personally use DynSite, but I would find it odd that all of them not to work on Vista.

When you configured the DNS client did you get a successful connection update, etc?

I have shamefully adapted/plagiarized the following from lilhurricane See Profile as she has excellently summarized on how to set up line monitoring, if you have not already done so.

The FAQ for starting a monitor is here, if you don't have one already going:

»Line Monitoring FAQ

This is where you need to go to get setup & sign on:

* Sign-Up *

Make sure when you're done to click "Create Monitor"..make sure you are "pingable".
If you require additional instruction, we can help :)

For those who are not already a part of this onsite, that are interested, please send me an IM to receive an invitation. Those of you that are..can add yours
You must click "Accept" when you get it for it to display here:

Go to your profile page and add it to the profile +

Use the drop down to add an entry to "My Home Connection"

That way your connection speed, modem, and router info show...
