I got this message twice within 10 minutes:
"The system has detected a conflict for IP address xxx.xxx.x.xxx [(I just put x's for #'s] with 00:0D:88:C2:1E:[letter/number]... The Interface has been disabled."
Any clues on what this might be or if this is in fact a hacker would be greatly helpful. Thanks.
 
Please post your error message without your comments so we can plug it into Google and do some research. Just leave the IPs it reports we can strip them out when we search.
 
Also, along with the pure error message you are getting you should include information on what you were doing when you got it. Also, how are you connecting to the net? Are you high speed going through a router or are you on a home network - do you use DSL or Cable? Are you on dial up? The more information you give us the better, if we can't use the information we will just pass by it but whenever you ask a technical support question you should be giving all the information about your system, how you are connected to the net (if it is a connectivity issue, and what you were doing when the problem occured.
 
Well, it only happend once and I think it was just my computer being screwy. I don't think I should continue to persue finding out what it is. Thanks anyway. :)
 
You have something on your network assigning DHCP addresses and another computer is set to have a static address that is in the range being assigned by the DHCP server. This is not uncommon and does not require any real searching to find a solution to. Change the IP of the computer that has a statically assigned address to something outside of the range assigned from DHCP to resolve it.

    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?

  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:
    ahh anubis blocks anyone that has javascript turned off
