417201 2006-01-02 05:04:00 I have the D-Link DSL-504G, the only light that blinks is the Status light when it not in use. This the from the manual.....

Power: Steady green light indicates the unit is powered on

Status: Blinking green indicates normal operation

ADSL (Link/Act): Steady green light indicates a valid ADSL connection / Blinking green light indicates an active Internet session

Ethernet (Link/Act): Steady green light indicates a valid Ethernet connection / Blinking green light indicates an active Internet session through your Ethernet connection

417202 2006-01-02 05:06:00 There are four lights on my modem

USB.....ETHERNET......READY......POWER.


At times, there is some activity on the modem even if the puter is turned off. This is just my ISP or may even be a drive-by hack attack. Since I have invoked the firewall in the router, any hackers just see what I let them see and they leave me alone.

How can this be a drive by attack if you don't have wireless?

417204 2006-01-02 05:24:00 SonicNZ2 - Mine is very similary only the status light doesn't blink, it is the activity light.

Joe - a drive by usually involves some sort of motorvehicle, I think what you mean is a surf by or hack by attack :p

417205 2006-01-02 05:41:00 My boys coined the phrase and it seems to be caught on here locally..we get both kinds of drive-bys......... SurferJoe46 (51)
417206 2006-01-02 05:46:00 Oh, I see, what do you mean both? What are these two? The_End_Of_Reality (334)
417207 2006-01-02 18:16:00 As we are just a suburb of the greater Los Angeles commmunity, we get a certain amount of the lead-laden drive-bys here . Gang activity (Bloods v Crips) are just in the movies . . there are so many independent gangs who are all trying to make a name for themselves that the average citizen is always under some sort of attack . We get "bump-and-robs", "swoop-and-dive", home invasions, and general "don't-go-out-after-sunset" problems .

Thankfully, we don't have very good freeway access here and the problem with shooting up a town and getting back outta it is very limiting in nature . If the shooters cannot get to a freeway to make a getaway, then they tend to shy away from hamlets like ours .

That doesn't mean that there aren't gang activities here in good ol' Hemet and San Jacinto . The evidence of graffitti indicates there are "turf" proclamations going on at present . The anti-graffitti patrols are out in force eradicating the spray paints all the time . . but it is a very large battle .

The hack drive-bys are everywhere . . and actually the least of my problems at the moment .

Sorry for hijacking the post . . . . I got wordy again . . . . . forgot this is not the general area . . . . .

417208 2006-01-02 20:19:00 Oh I see that is not very good and also dangerous, I bet the local police have a hard job.

Do you ever feel threatened or in danger?

LOL :lol: thats ok I asked you a question and that was your reply, (rather long I might add :lol: :p)
