I am new to the wireless networking world and was wondering about a few things. I ran the anonymous surfing tool on this website and only my IP address came into view. The map was completely wrong about where my computer was coming from (I guess this is a good thing?). I have McAfee security suite running along with all the other standard windows defaults. Can anyone track anything from this computer? I also downloaded wireshark as suggested in another feed and found it interesting even though I did not really know what the little packets meant. I had about 4000 of them in a matter of five minutes without any work on my part. Interesting.

Sometimes the map can be way off depending in your internet service provider. For example, you may live in Clearwater Fl, but your ISP may be using a connection from Tampa, so the map will show the incorrect location, which is really correct The map is the location of the IP address you are using, which is sometimes a location you did not expect. Think of it as a map of your IP address, not your home. Most of the time, your IP is close to home.
Wireshark is very cool and don
Thanks for all of the information Jim. Your site is a great service. I have my ssid turned off and am using a wep key encryption which I change about every month or so. It is just interesting that another system can pull up all that information. A little nervewracking. Thanks again for your help.
I’m not an expert in this but what you can I use for good network security? (I mean to hide my ip etc.)
The only thing I can think of SID for hiding your IP is would be some type of anonymous proxy, but be careful here! I have a post somewhere in the forum on proxy servers and services that will explain this in detail. Search this forum for that and you should find some good information.
Best regards,
Jim.
