Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Dan mentioned that Damon was hooking up internet in his facility. Is it possible to back trace his IP to the originating number called from?
Also, wouldn't it stand to reason that someone with $100,000's in animals would use high speed internet?

Yes it is possible. However, that information would have to come from the ISP itself and they generally do not release that information without a subpoena

Bob there are still places you can't get High Speed...I think you would have to go through his Provider to get a number and I don't think they'd give it out...Randy

Maybe their house payment is too much?
Seriously though; Oakdale is a nothing town, just a spot on the map. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if HS access isn't available. I would venture to bet that even DSL is not available there.

Keep in mind also that Level 3 is a backbone provider. They are not an ISP. It is not out of the realm of possibility that David/Damon is using a local dial up number. The IP address resolving to Houston does not mean he is calling into there. It just means that is the closet backbone for Level 3. He very well could be using some very small local ISP that leases their access from Level 3.

Sorry to post again, I realize that they are NOT a ISP but they do set up LAN's. Which I think are used in conjunction with ISP's. I am not really computer litterate so I am probably way off!

They do set those up, but they're nationwide so their advertisements will list all that they do rather than what might be available or needed in each service area.

A LAN or Local Area Network, is nothing more than a group of local computers linked together. For example, I have three computers in my house and they are all connected to one another. That is a LAN. This LAN can then connect to a single access point like a wireless router and access the internet. The link you provided is to a company that provides technical/repair support.
Although they state on their site that they setup broadband connections, all they would be doing is installing a router and connecting all of your computers to it, (setting up the LAN.) The actual connection would be provided by the local telco or cable provider. You would need to check with them to see if it was available.

This is very true. It is also true, for whatever it is worth, that high speed internet is available anywhere in the US with a southern exposure through HughesNet. Of course David/Damon/Tawni would need a valid credit card.
