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.

I would say so, unless you have people connected to it via ethernet using DHCP. You do have WPA or similar turned on I hope. HTH Andrew 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]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
