I networked the 2 PCs at home, and installed a Linksys sr41 router to new roadrunner cable service on Monday.
By Wednesday the Napster Library on the machine attached to the router, had been filled with dozens of country and Western songs. Nothing on the 2nd unit which had Zone Alarm on it.
a) Is this a prank/hack? or just some glitch at Napster stemming from the new ISP/IP that came with the service?
( Previously on dial up with different server)
b)How can delete them? I get 'cannot be deleted' with every attempt.
I have not tried to 'play' these songs for fear I may weep,
and intend to back up some stuff before messing with them further.
c) Why did the router not protect it, with its supposed 'built in firewall'? I will put the Zone Alarm on it too.
d)I disabled my anti virus software as I was told that it destroys the hard drive.ie wears it out prematurely. Not true?
