I have an unknown IP address on my network which did not show up until today.( I just happened to write down all IP addresses for devices on my network yesterday). I went to a site to identify the address which shows up as a location in another state with a company name. Symantec identifies the IP address as a threat to ie-mail but not as an Intrusion threat. I read that the router address now must be changed to keep them out.How do I know if this is something I need intermittently like a connection with McAfee or my Internet provider?
er how about posting the address? If you are worried re privacy PM me with its details.
Sorry! Just a noob.
67.1.168.192
reverse of 192.168.1.67 which I assume is 1 of your PCs correct?
Currently Mcafee has a problem that does nothing but stress you where it shows some PCs on your network as reversed IP addresses. They say it is only cosmetic and are not fixing it as any priority.
Do you think this is the case?
