What Raven is saying about HughesNet “turning off” a firewall and antivirus makes no sense at all. For another party to gain access to a PC shell, that person would need to be logged in. If simply anyone could turn off certain services from remote…then the user has larger problems…most likely a lack of knowledge…

I’ve applied this to Windows 7 (RC). It works, but has strange effects:

1) The task bar changed its background colour.

2) I got the message: “This copy of Windows is not genuine”. This changed back to normal (”Evaluation copy”) when I opened the computer properties.

Other than that, it seems to be working OK.

I think Anon124 is probably right – though I’m going to try this for the 30 billionth time anyway, adding the registry thing, which I have just learned about here, and see if it works that way.

I have been fighting hackers for years and just discovered that HUGHESNET had been turning off mt Firewalls and Antiviruses so that they could use my PC connection as a server!!

(I have solid proof of this if anyone is interested in seeing it)

I had had all the exact same kinds of problems when with Mid Rivers and they wouldn’t do anything about it. That’s why we went to HughesNet. However, they wouldn’t do anything about it either. After trying everything I could over 10 months, a HughesNet employee who called himself “Jimmy” told my Mother that it had been THEM who had been disabling our security software!!!

Anyway, whatever I have ever tried has never worked and now I know why, and it all finally makes sense. Comparing the events that happened with HN, with the events that happened with MR, it was plain to see why we thought “hackers” had been messing with our software when we were with MR as well…

It really should be illegal for ISPs to turn off peoples’ security and leave them open for attacks so that they can be used to extend the ISP’s own networks!

I left HughesNet for the same reason I left Mid Rivers, and went to another ISP under a different registrar. After 2 from the same registrar had acted in the same ways, I was not about to risk seeing if it was a registrar-wide policy or just a company one.

Unfortunately, our computer seems to still be getting caught up on the same “local network” so I am trying to find a way around that. I could never find anyone that knows enough about this stuff to help me. Till I do, I’ll try disabling the IPv6 again, and I haven’t tried disabling the tunnels yet so we will see how that goes, too. I was looking up info about 0.0.0.0 because I was on it with MR, HN, and now still am.

Is this a “Network Solutions” thing and impossible to get away from? Or is there a way to configure a direct route to get online and bypass the creeps on the local network who hack us?

Thanks – to all of you who are kind enough to offer info and advice to us who need it badly and cannot afford a consultant…

Your friend

Unfortunately, this doesn’t actually disable IPv6, it just turns off some of its features.

Try using process explorer and viewing service host after you’ve disabled IPv6 in this fasion. You will likely see at least 1 IPV6 listener.

Governments are trying to use IPv6 to regain control of the internet (whilst reminding the people ONLY of the IP shortage and touting the “anti-crime” aspect). Where as, infact, its just control they want, for profit, for power (well, I guess they are “government” lol). So, track, trace, control.. My advice use Linux, or use Linux as a software firewall and find a packet filter which can recognise and scrub IPv6 packets (ahhh ).

That or just put up with it.
