However, there is also also a reasonable chance that it is a security breach if you are running an unsecured wireless network. What I would recommend is that you probe the unknown device with something like nmap (available from ports security/nmap) with something like nmap -O -sV IP-ADDRESS-OF-MYSTERY-DEVICE That should give you a fair amount of information about the device.

I have not yet tried to break WPA, but I have managed breaking WEP following a youtube tutorial using Back Track 3.

Security questions, seeing more then one dhcp client.
I am seeing two dhcp clients connected to my wireless router. Does that mean someone other then me is on it? Or does the router have it's private dhcp client attached? The router is a compusa broadband wireless router. In Love in Jesus Christ, Or Lord and Savior. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only *begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. --John 3:16 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
