[QUOTE="Ember1205, post: 1779746, member: 374272"] PGB1: Did you ever actually figure out what the device was that was getting the .252 address? From your Mac, open a terminal window and ping the address (ping 192.168.0.252). Once you've gotten a couple of replies, break the ping command (CTRL-C) and then issue the command "arp -an | grep 252". This will give you a "mapping" between the IP Addresses containing 252 and MAC addresses of the different devices your Mac has communicated with recently. Take note of the MAC address associated to the .252 address. Then issue the command "arp -an | grep '\.1'" (be sure you get the apostrophes around the \.1). Find the entry for 192.168.0.1 and take note of that MAC address. If the addresses match, they are both definitely coming from your router. If the first six characters match, they are PROBABLY both coming from your router. If the first six do NOT match, would you be ok with posting the MAC of the .252 device here? Or, at least the first six characters? MAC addresses are unique and the first six characters identify the manufacturer. For voice service, I eliminated my phone bill at least 18 months ago by porting my phone numbers over to Google Voice and using a $50 box to provide my phone services. I've detailed the process elsewhere, but could certainly bring that info to this site if useful. In a nutshell, you port your phone number from the cable company to T-Mobile. Once that port is done, you port it to Google (costs $20). You "might" be done at that point, or you can go a step further to add in inbound virtual number so that Google can block inbound garbage. I went from my phone ringing 30 times / day with almost all garbage to only a couple of calls per day with ZERO telemarketing. And, I don't pay a penny for my home phone. Total investment for me was around $75 per phone line (and I've done it to three of them). I currently pay for Broadband Internet from the cable company and have DirecTV for programming content. By next summer, I will have dropped DTV and will no longer be paying for television content beyond -MAYBE- $10/month for Hulu, $10/month for Netflix.
