Check your router cabling. A typical router will have a port for your connection to the Internet (ie to the DSL or cable modem) and usually 4 or so for local clients.
If you plug the connection from the DSL or Cable modem into one of the 4, it will not be acting as a router, but as an Access Point. Ie, it will think your cable modem network is part of your local network and gladly pass anything to it. It gets a very odd view of what is local and what is remote. (I used to have a neighbor who did that... I would see tons of ARP packets on wireless, and, no, he didn't encrypt either...) The router itself should not be allowing UDP broadcasts through unless you have set it up specifically to do that.. or miswired it. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37019 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
