Since it will most likely have your local IP address, it will lookup your hostname and come back with the computer name. Other people on the internet will not be able to see this.

Archenemy Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I turned off the resolve IP's and revealed the IP address of 113.172.4.215 which is from Vietnam. Somehow he has set it up so I see my computer name instead of his. no flag either. I knew it wasn't me because he is using bitorrent 7.2 and I am using utorrent 3.1.How do I keep someone from doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
