[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1778098, member: 307555"] I am beginning to wonder if for some strange reason your router is broadcasting two ip addresses. That would be beyond weird but I can't think of what could be going on. Here are some things I would try just to explore: Open Network Utility which you will find in the Utility folder of your applications. Try running through some of the utilities especially Traceroute - put in the mysterious ip address and see what happens. If it returns any IP address that does not start with 192.168.0.X it would indicate the route to get to that IP address is going out on the net. Of course if your neighbor is tapped into your router it still might not show outside IP addresses. Try Pinging the address to see if it responds. That way you will know if it is active. Lookup and Whois will most likely give you nothing as the ip address is a local network address. Port scan will tell you of any open ports on the router. Port 80 is normal as that is needed to access the internet. There are others that are okay too and if you have any you suspect you can google it to see why it would be open. If you still have questions ask and I will post back. Netstat will give you a ton of information and can be very confusing but you can run it to see what it does. I love this utility so much I leave it on my desktop. It is a great app for a starting point for troubleshooting. This will give you more to check out! Lisa [/QUOTE]
