This is just a warning to people that are connected to BigPond. As of late, there has been a hoax email being sent to BigPond customers, stating that their bill payments were unable to be processes.
This e-mail has been sent to you by BigPond to inform you that we were unable to process your most recent payment of bill. This might be due to either of the following reasons.
BigPond will never send you an email stating that they weren’t able to process your payment, they will however send you a letter or phone you.
Due to this, to ensure that your service is not interrupted, we request you to confirm and update your billing information today by clicking here.
Now, a warning here as that link is not related to BigPond, if you do click it, it will go to a website http://dampnfuss.de. So please don’t submit any details, I do not hold any responsibility if you are connected to BigPond, and type in your details, this is just merely a warning.
In a previous post I wrote about how much the new connection manager (2.10.4) mutilates the connection on the computer. Well currently there is a simple fix that addresses the issue. I have tested it multiple times and seems to work fine on both, Windows Vista and Windows XP. Here is the following commands that (should) fix up the issue fine.
If anyone tries this, and it successfully works, please comment here and let me know.
Windows XP
start > run > cmd [press ok]
netsh winsock reset
netsh interface ip reset
restart PC and test
Windows Vista
start > start search > command [press enter]
netsh int ip reset
restart PC and test
The above commands should fix up the issue people are having with 2.10.4 on both Windows XP and Vista.
Well the past two days at work have been crazy, I thought Monday would be quite crazy as usual start of the week dilemmas, but even tonight has been crazy. So many calls to take, so many different problems that take like 40 minutes or more to fix, and trying to talk people through doing things when they don’t understand computers to well is a nightmare.
One of the biggest issues at the moment is BigPond releasing the NextG connection manager update (version 2.10.4), which mutilates peoples connections, is a real pain. Generally resetting the TCP Stack and a simple reset of the winsock resolves the issue, but I thought there would be some QA that has to be done before releasing updated software.
On another note, Rachelle starts work again at TTH, which is quite cool. She is now casual, so she gets to choose which shifts she wants, now that is awesome. I also applied for salary sacrificing of a new notebook for myself through work, which I should get in time for my birthday which will be a good present. A new computer for myself, it’s only been about 7 years since I last updated.
Well that is all for now, my ranting about work is over.
Goodnight
