M$ says /thinks this is bad, therefore reset to 'DEFAULT" setting, which is ISP automatic provided, and changes every connection except cable. No biggie, except personal preference. In order to make these changes it had to disrupt my firewall, since a firewall is software, and controlled by M$ therefore, I got the software deactivation notice, whilst this program did it's 'magic' I use Norton CE, therefore both components had to be dissabled, firewall and AV. Problem was, they were not Re-Activated, and I had to reboot to regain control.

Hardware depent you will be looking at all of your hardware connected to the internet. And will see your ISP, IP, Default gateway etc. Your modem will show connection specific DNS setting, if you see the word or phrase about automatic tunneling then you are set to DEFAULT. Automatic IP addressing from your ISP on every connect.
