Hi There,

Been noticing a strange device being attached to my network recently which is using an internal IP address of 192.168.0.5

192.168.0.5 |Å7~ÿ 00:23:4E:6D:2F:15

|Å7~ÿ - Thats the name of the device, the only devices we have in the home are PC's and Laptops which are named by myself,

Only way I would be able to truly find out is go round each device in the house and check its IP including mobile phones, the only people at home at the moment that have a wireless device is 2 laptops which are named, 2 blackberry phones and an iphone, could this be one of them?

edit: with so few devices on the network, its worth checking each IP.

another edit: forget my mac address lookup, it was wrong somehow! BloodyL below is right.

doing an wireshark.org OUI search on that MAC address resolves to a Hon Hai Precision / FOXCONN built device, unfortunately this does not discount anything as they build for the following people:

Apple Inc. (United States)
Acer Inc. (Taiwan)
Amazon.com (United States)
Asus (Taiwan)
ASRock (Taiwan)
Intel (United States)
Cisco (United States)
Hewlett-Packard (United States)
Dell (United States)
Nintendo (Japan)
Nokia (Finland)
Microsoft (United States)
MSI (Taiwan)
Sony Ericsson (Japan/Sweden)
Vizio (United States)

So it looks like you are indeed going to have to do the legwork dude.

Dell, more than likely my sisters laptop then, just wondering why it has the Bizzar name :\ oh well, nothing scary, might get her to give her laptop a health check though, guaranteed to have something on there which could be causing that, or it could be something up with the DGTeam firmware on my netgear not reporting the name properly.
