Guest LB Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Did the shields up test and it came up with this..."Reverse DNS" is not presentfor your Internet connection. Many Internet connection IP addresses are associated with a DNS machine name. (But yours is not.) The presence of "Reverse DNS", which allows the machine name to be retrieved from the IP address, can represent a privacy and possible security concern for Internet consumers since it may uniquely and persistently identify your Internet account — and therefore you — and may disclose other information, such as your geographic location. When present, reverse DNS is supported by Internet service providers. But no such lookups are possible with your current Internet connection address (81.***.***.**). That's generally a good thing. Can some body please explain what the hell this means in simpleton terms?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
