How does Amazon dot com ID ?
|
|
| Tim Kettring 2004-03-28, 5:23 pm |
| ....without entering a user name and password...
I ordered a book from amazon.com weeks ago , and every time I go to the
amazon.com site , it thinks it knows my name ( even though the comp has been
turned off about 20 times since I got the book . )
I dont have to enter any info ( username or password ) to identify myself
for this to happen , so why does it think it knows my name correctly ? I
dont have any certificates either that I know of , and clean reinstalled
win-XP just before I ordered . I know that I did not install a certificate
from amazon.com . Or at least I wasnt prompted for one .
Do you suppose it knows my modems mac address ? ( if modems have a mac
address like NICs )
This happins on both dial-up ISPs , and I only used one ISP when I ordered .
Thanks , Tim

Create an Active Directory-integrated zone on each of the divisional DNS
servers for the local domain only.
Convert the divisional primary zones on CorpDNS to secondary zones with the
appropriate divisional zone acting as master zone.
Configure the divisional client computers with the address of their
divisional DNS server.
Configure the divisional DNS servers to forward unresolved queries to
CorpDNS.
