As the question says, erm well, are they? Anybody know?
Just wondered because I live in the UK and I’m with Pipex Homecall who are associated with Tiscali. I was doing a Hijack this log and the 017 entries (there was 2 of them) were different to that of the IP address at Shields UP. I had went to Shields UP to check my firewall was working effectively.
Wondering about this I went to – http://www.whois.sc/ & entered the IP address from my HJT log & it said AT&T world services USA.
The IP address that shields up – https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 – said I had, when entered at the whois site said it was Tiscali UK, which is right.
So anyway after all this blathering on and me showing off my computer prowess and technical terms (I’m a bit cack aren’t I?) does anyone have any idea if AT&T world services have any thing at all to do with Tiscali. I have emailed my internet provider and I’m still waiting a reply.
Any help would be much appreciated.
