| Re: Got a good one from comcast That DNS is the last hope anyone will see if they trace your current IP address back to you. So in my case if the DNS show up in PA and I'm in WA then something is wrong.
If you can trust someone to run a trace to your IP or try it from your work you can quickly tell if the notice is legit or not. | |

I think he means the HOST DNS, final hop or Host name, not a DNS server. Even the info provided in the email/letter shows Infringers DNS Address: C-71... blah blah blah | |

clear it up
@comcast.net
| Re: Got a good one from comcast Hi just want to clear up a few things. In the file name is the tag HR which means it's a high resolution video that will be roughly twice the size of the normal releases. or about 700 MB.
Secondly I've NEVER seen anyone get a notice like this on a file that has been rar'd or zipped. I suggest sticking to those in the future. | |

| Re: Got a good one from comcast Actually, the HD rips of TV shows that I see are only about 350mb, it's that wonderful XviD codec. I understand that the HR might mean it's a bit bigger, but at the same time it still doesn't fit. I don't have anything even remotely resembling that file name, nor would I download something that's twice the size I'd need. Comcast screwed the pooch on this one, no matter what kind of evidence they might have. Already sent an email to the dmca address given explaining the situation. Did some checking and it looks like I did have the IP address in question during that period of time, however, the fact remains that no one in the house downloaded the file, and my wireless was turned off during that period, AND I have never touched a 700mb TV episode, ever.

| 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! | |

You can run a trace back here:
»www.dnsstuff.com/
Use the "Traceroute" under "Hostname Test". You can just plug in the IP address from the letter; but you have to respond to pings. Because a cable modem is a bridge, that means configuration of either router, or firewall.
