My son was recently accused by the " Bandwidth Department" of his ISP for excessive bandwidth use a charge he disputes. The Bandwidth used had a very high percentage of upload ratio which he swears could not be his. The network consists a Network Everywhere / Linksys Router with 2 wireless adapters plus 1 wired networked computer. The router is wide open with the encryption off. My son had concerns that wep would reduce the speed of the XBox online wireless performance .
The network is composed of
1) the wired computer 2) a D-Link USB wireless adapter 3) an X-Box MN-740 wireless adapterThe DHCP client table lists 4 not 3 computers:
1) the wired computer 192.168.1.100 2) an adapter whose mac adress corresponds to the d-link and mac adress matches the mac adress on the label 192.168.1.103 3) an adapter labelled MN-740 whose mac adress matches the mac address on the label of the MN-740 Microsoft XBox wireless adapter 192.168.1.104 4) an adapter with a name of diffirent unrecognizable symbols ip 192.168.1.102 the mac adress corresponds to a vendor / manufacturer of Microsoft the mac address is 00-50-F2-F0-40-B2could the Microsoft adapter be counted twice with a diffirent physical mac adress ?? seems strange. By the way the signal from the router is somewhat shielded as it is in a concrete basement. Any ideas ?
