Re: Got a good one from comcast

It's just not that straight forward if you keep digging. You may find that the MAC that was assigned that IP isn't your's and or that you are only paying for IP but comcast has assigned 2 of them to you at the same time!

You have to look behind the curtain! In this post so far the replay has been that all these other point are prone to error and the lack of the ISP keeping up with there network but yet you want or believe then that the one database if beyond error!

But none of that has anything to do with your other vague statements "Make sure the dns is the right one for your house" and "That DNS is the last hope anyone will see if they trace your current IP address back to you" which are apparently a reference to the often meaningless pseudo hostname assigned by an ISP to an end user's dynamic IP address.

Here are a few examples which have been discussed in this forum which illustrate the arbitrary text strings which may be used as a pseudo hostname for a dynamic IP assigned to an end user (or even a router or switch), and why those values would be meaningless in a judicial proceeding.
