Hello,
We have a couple of macs and windows in our house.
Just tonight I have notice on all our macs that a shared computer: "new-host-3" comes up as a PC.
THinking it was one of our windows computer I turned them all off and unplugged them from the network to make sure, but it did not go a way.
Just yesterday we purchased a new Macbook pro and a wireless printer. I set the wireless printer up so it's accessible on the network, would this have any thing to do with it? The only thing this is happening while the printer is unplugged. It also cannot be the new macbook because it is separately appearing in the list.
I tried unplugging my modem, then plugging it back in. The unidentified computer went away and just all our computers were listed, but then suddenly it showed up again?
What could this be? I am really worried it is a hacker, is that possible?
Thanks
John
