Unknown Computer showing in network
Hello everyone,

Quite a problem here. I noticed my internet [T1, I have a box with a light
that flashes when in use] was going nonstop at a fast rate, even when my
computer was idle. So I went and checked my network settings. My computer is
alone, not on any networks, but "JACQUELINE-PC" and a media version of that
is showing up on my network. My network was private and I changed it to
public, seeing as Windows Help said that is safest for lone computers. I also
added a password to my windows computer account. I tried to turn "file
sharing" off, but it said it was controlled by my firewall. I use Nortons
Internet Security for firewall and I havent been able to find any option to
disable file sharing in it.

Can someone please help? Seems like this "JACQUELINE-PC" is accessing my
computer at all times, judging from internet activity.

RE: Unknown Computer showing in network
Are you using a Wireless router?

You don't tell us!!!!!!!
Are we supposed to be mind readers!!!

If you are, disable the wireless transmitting in the router, and use a Cat5
cable for the internet until you EXPLAIN what your setup!

RE: Unknown Computer showing in network
Excuse me; I am NOT being rude!

If you have a mystery computer in your Network, would you mind telling
everybody just HOW you are connected to the INTERNET.

Widows Vista 32bit home is NOT an answer!

You must have a moden, router,, or do you sit in a hotspot all day; i.e
airport, coffee shop?

Or is that TOO much to ask you?

Re: Unknown Computer showing in network
this appears to be a public IP. set your network to PUBLIC and make
certain the firewall is on.

Re: Unknown Computer showing in network
As stated in my original post, it says my firewall (which is Norton Internet
Security) controls that. I've searched all over and cannot find the controls
in Norton.
