Comment 256 for bug 422536

If this problem just popped up on you and did not appear upon installation then look to your NETSTAT command in terminal. On my machine this is caused by hackers attempting to cause a problem. The terminal command for this is netstat --inet -an. See if you get something that looks like mine.

ric@ric-desktop:~$ netstat --inet -an

I am having big hacker issues. The Canonical Addresses are not Canonical trying to help me out. I have much data on this crew. They are on me 24/7 trying to keep me from gathering data on them. Anyone wants to know exactly what is going on can contact me at <email address hidden>. The object of their activities is to cause computer replacement. If your computer is over 2 years old is their guideline.
these guys can ghost a network in nothing flat. Primarily they work Windows OS, but in my case they have learned to do Linux. They walk through Firefox security like it is nothing.
So look to your NETSTAT in terminal before blaming Ubuntu. The actual bug is in the CMOS, but you may not be able to replace the CMOS even though it looked like you did.

Happy computing ya'll.
