    Dropbox security issue


    Anyone here using Dropbox on iPhone or iPad (as well as PC) please?

    In an email from Dropbox Support I was alerted that users other than me have apparently signed in to my Dropbox account. It went on to advise that I could use their IP to get further information:
    "The IP address can be used to discover the login location and the internet provider used."

    But can anyone tell me how to do that please? Both of the methods I tried after some research didn't work.

    For example, using the IP 88.105.1.223, I opened an elevated command prompt and entered this:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32>nbtstat -a 88.105.1.223
    which gave the result
    Ethernet:
    Node IpAddress: [192.168.1.91] Scope Id: []

    Host not found

    I then tried another IP, 5.80.207.92, with this:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32>wmic.exe /node:"5.80.207.92" ComputerSystem Get UserName
    Node - 5.80.207.92
    ERROR:
    Description = The RPC server is unavailable.

    --------------------
    Q: How, from my PC, can I reliably use the IP to get "the login location and the internet provider" please?

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
