Any idea what this is?

[maveric]

Ok i have a Billion 7300g Router. WPA security and wireless MAC filter. Every day or so i get this in the DHCP Table Leased Table

IP Address 192.168.1.103
MAC Address 00:12:f0:53:73:49
Client Host Name your-bfd7d7aab9
Register Time 2007/06/14 20:30:16 - 2007/06/15 08:30:16

i have added that MAC address to the Mac filter setting to Drop but every day after i add it to that list it seems to disappear again. Trying to Figure out if this unkown source is using my bandwitdh and quota, and what other info they could be transmitting.

Cheers Josh

Network printer or MFD?

I have a Hp Laser Jet2300 printer attached to my router via ethernet but its not a wireless printer.

The DHCP table isn't only wireless. What IP is your printer using? The printer should have it's MAC address on a sticker on it.

the printer's ip address is 192.168.1.105 mac address is 00 01 E6 A1 D5 7B

What about a Bluetooth device? The name "your-BFD...." suggests a device rather than a PC or something like that. PDA maybe? Does seem odd that they'd be able to connect through that level of security though.

Maybe try restricting the DHCP scope to the exact number of addresses you need? Give the printer a fixed IP & have the scope just issue .100-.102 ?

I looked up the MAC address & it came up with "0012F0 Intel Corporate" - do you have a laptop with inbuilt Intel wireless? I'm wondering if it is some sort of quality of connection tool?

BFD may stand for "bidirectional forward detection" ?

I have a Dell laptop but no inbuilt wireless card. Yeah no other wireless devices in my unit possible another unit, but signal strength is very limited in my apartment as it is. any idea where to set up the scope for only 3 mc ip addresses? or is it possible to only give ip address to mac address approved m/c's???

OK,

In the Billion's web configuration page there should be settings for DHCP Server. It will have a Range Start & Range End figure. Leave the Range Start as is (192.168.0.100?) & change the Range End to 192.168.0.102.

It's possible to issue IPs to specific MACs, but that's no security help as a fixed IP will still work.

All the above will do is stop the device from auto connecting.

I'd be playing around with my wireless security settings. So you've got WDS with only your wireless MAC addresses typed in? Here's the manual if you don't have it BTW: http://60.248.77.180/_Internet/userm...M_12162005.pdf

It's a mystery all right.

before i set it up i just wanna check iam setting up the correct thing.
on page 59 of the manual in thee Packet Filter part?

Josh

Whoa! Packet filtering is about the firewall. Can be very tricky to get right.

I'd concentrate of working out what the mystery device is first.

My DHCP network addresses were wrong BTW. They should be 192.168.1.100-102.

Does the mystery device just appear in the DHCP table (page 29), or is it also in the Wireless Association Table (page 27)?

BTW, I'm using the docs page numbers, not Adobe reader's (which are +2).

Page 59(61) MAC Address Filter might help if you can't work it out.

I have attached a picture of the DHCP table and wireless wireless assciation table. as it currently is.i will give the router a restart and see if there are any changes.

It doesn't look to be a wireless device (if it stays that way after reboot). That's good (I think ).

What's physically connected to the router?
