Title: Keep locally owned viruses active on IP change. Post by: Tiak on August 08, 2008, 10:18:26 AM Well, I don't care about this one one a whole lot, and it certainly shouldn't be high priority, but it seems a bit silly that you can lose your connection to yourself.
(At the same time, I don't expect an idea that proposes removing a disadvantage of IP-changing to be particularly popular, but I'm just throwing it out there. :16:) Title: Re: Keep locally owned viruses active on IP change. Post by: Theraze on August 21, 2008, 09:23:32 AM I'd like to make a vote for this one as well... seems stupid that, for example, a Sniffer Daemon (beneficial virii that you'd actually install) would lose the connection talking to the same computer that it's installed on... Really? :)

not by a great deal, but it racks up. i support the original idea Title: Re: Keep locally owned viruses active on IP change. Post by: Witcher on August 21, 2008, 12:30:59 PM I find also that this idea is a good one. :7:
(yeah I found this out the hard way! Was a bit of a surprise but oh well I installed by sniffer again and all was good) |
