Strange website on My Network Places...

by cgarrity Oct 4, 2005 3:56AM PDT

Today I clicked on MY Network Places and when the page came up, I noticed it is broken into 2 place (Local Network and the Internet). In the lower on or "The Internet" I noticed a link to some military base in Japan and when I clicked on it, the base came up. I've NEVER been on that website as far as I can remember.

I'm wondering how this could have happened and if this is a 2 way street. In other words, could someone from that base access my home network?

I deleted this link just to be sure. On my wife's computer, her "Internet" link is msnusers.com. I'm wondering if I should delete that link as well.
