Downloads & Zip?

SSE generic: download (7z) 772,009 bytes. Unpacked (all folders) 4,248,005 bytes - 9 files. Executable 1,720,320 bytes

If you don't have your computers networked, how do each of them contact the internet?

What country are you in? I can post from the UK, but the closer the sender is to you, the quicker you'll receive them.

I'm in the eastern TZ, USA.
Brandenburg, KY .
Im on an ADSL connection. Used to be Networked but now have no sharing between Puters allowed after an attack 3yrs ago.
Setup is through a US Robotics  router and a Gigafast switch. The router has it's own firewall and there are 5 puters connected.
4 run boinc and 3 have Mcafee security and one has ZA security suite.
This box is straight to the Router and 3 are through the switch.
They are all wired because a neighbor saw fit to use my Bandwidth a couple of years ago.
I'll check my packet sizes and post later. I am running a full scan on the suspect box right now.

Thanks,

Jim Scott

Wired is best - faster, more reliable.

But wireless can be secure - you just have to enable BOTH WEP (encryption) AND MAC access control - unfortunately, manufacturers ship consumer-grade products with the security switched off, to save set-up hassle ('Works straight out of the box'). MAC access control, in particular, can be difficult to find in the setup, but it's usually there somewhere.

But if all your computers are wired to the same router/switch combination, then they are, by definition, networked together. It's just that you choose not to use the benefits of that network for file copying etc.

If you've got four computers, and three of them have a working copy of 7-zip, then you can download and expand any file you want, and copy it to the problematic machine by sneakernet (disk or USB memory stick). You don't have to use your network cables, but it'll still be quicker than the postal service.

The SSE2 download has 748kb, 15 files & 3 folders. 1.71mb unpacked.
The SSE download has 754kb, 15 files & 3 folders,1.41mb unpacked.

I was a Ceramic Tile Craftsman over 25yrs until I got totally disabled.
What little Puter knowledge I have was self taught.
I can build systems and do some setups without help. I also managed to learn a little HTML but any other coding is over my head.
I have a couple of friends that are real computer "geniuses" for real but I only see them a few times a year.
One of them pointed out my stolen bandwidth due to a MAC addy they found in one of my boxes log files.
Could be that I have no business messing with puters but they have helped me stay inSANE since becoming totally disabled.

Thanks,

@Haselgrove,
YIKES!!!
Any advice?
*EDIT, At least I've got the stock app running on all of my boxes now except for one old box that I managed to install the 2.4 on. /EDIT*
