security log newbie question

I have wpa security enabled with a 64 character random password. I have dhcp turned off, with static ips. I don't broadcast my ssid, and only turn wireless on sporadically. It's definitely not on 24/7. My security log every once in a while shows a wan dhcp client connected that I don't recognize. It will show Fri Feb 10 12:45:55 2006 -WAN DHCP Client Connected IP 192.168.100.11 Fri Feb 10 12:46:03 2006 -WAN DHCP Client Connected IP 192.168.100.11 Fri Feb 10 12:46:06 2006 -WAN DHCP Client Connected IP 192.168.100.11 Fri Feb 10 12:46:10 2006 -WAN DHCP Client Connected IP 192.168.100.11 Fri Feb 10 12:46:13 2006 -WAN DHCP Client Connected IP 192.168.100.11 Fri Feb 10 12:46:16 2006 -WAN DHCP Client Connected IP 192.168.100.11 Fri Feb 10 12:46:19 2006 -WAN DHCP Client Connected IP 192.168.100.11 Fri Feb 10 12:46:23 2006 -WAN DHCP Client Connected IP 70.XXX..XX.XX

With the final entry being my external ip address used by cox cable. The ip address, 192.168.100.11 is not one of mine, nor is it in my same range of ip addresses that I chose. Where does this ip address come from?

Thanks for any help,

Lisa

Was the wireless turned on at 12:45 - 12:46? What is the IP address of the cox modem? What brand of WAP/Router are we discussing? What is the IP of the router? How many clients on your network? What is the address range you are using? Is this a home network, house or apartment?Is there a print server? Have you tried changing the passwd?

fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.

You mean that 70.162.22.81 that you're trying to hide that OE is showing, which really means nothing as the machines are setting behind a NAT router and no one can come at the machines over the WAN unless a machine behind the router's LAN as been compromised by malware?

Who knows if your network has been hacked or not, as you're not giving enough information. What router are you talking about?

NAT provides only a modest amount of security that can be circumvented or even completely negated; e.g., by port forwarding, including misnamed "DMZ".
