moogly Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Reverse DNS game. Nothing you can do, or just stop resolving the peer IPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Nope. The IP is real, it's the reverse DNS lookup that causes the name to come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enoscent Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 ok. i`m a newbie to this . Does this mean someone got my ip address (but does it matter? i`m dynamic ip anyway ) and then did something that showed up all information about my computer ?? i`m worried ...is he trying to impersonate me .?? thkx for reply .

moogly Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 NO. The reverse DNS lookup is .localhost, that's why you are seeing your computer name, that's all, it's purely local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
