Are cookies enabled on the laptop?christie1111 wrote:Says my IP address is masked

Is your laptop communicating from one of the countries favored by spammers? (I don't see why that would be the case, but I think our Administrator has been experimenting with blocking some of those to cut down on the nasty intrusions.)

Looks like my new security features (which I just implemented late last night, and hadn't gotten around to announcing yet) are working a little too well.christie1111 wrote:Says my IP address is masked

Entry number one in the Bored FAQ, when I get it written, is going to be, "Don't use AOL!" This code really seems to not like it, for some reason.
Christie, if your laptop continues to give you trouble, PM me, and we'll see if we can get it worked out.

er...ahem...just kidding....
Actually, it's interesting, because you said you were on this morning....but the security changes I made were put in place late last night. So I'm not sure what's going on.
Is the way that you connect to the internet with your laptop any different than how you connect with your regular computer?
Also, make sure that your laptop doesn't have viruses or spyware on it.....the security upgrades detect things like open proxies and IP masking, which are usually signs of 1) unwanted users with undesirable intentions, or 2) legitimate users whose computers have been infected with something.

While checking the J! board (through AOL) after tonight's game I found one post with a link to this board. I clicked and I got in fine. After I left this board and tried again it was the masked IP message.
This morning I checked the board without a problem and it was the second entry that made the message appear the first time. I guess something happens between the first visit and subsequent visits?
