Most of you have needed at one time or another to sniff network traffic for trouble shooting purposes.
Today I noticed that one of my SIP phone's web interface worked much faster with Opera, so I wanted to see what exactly was going on. I set up Wireshark and toook a look, but I got distracted by the fact that I saw a bunch of strange things coming from "FreeboxS_nn". I know my neighbor uses Free and has this device and there are probably others in the neighborhood as well. I'm seeing this on a wifi connection to a Mac Mini. The SIP phone was a Gigaset S675IP. If you have any slowness in the web gui, try Opera 10, it somehow talks very quickly to the phone. My question is this: On a local network, there are devices like pronters that announce themselves, files sharing, computers, servers, etc. On a WiFi router, is it normal that it "reaches out" to try to talk to devices? I'm seeing groups of packets a couple times a minute, it seems like a lot. Is this normal or is it some kind of hack attempt or honeypot within range of my computer? Thanks for any relevant info. /r _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
