Mystery mac address showing up in my log

[hagbard]

Was checking devices connected to my WRT54g, and there was a MAC address identical to my main computer's wireless adapter MAC address except one digit (mine ends 0b, this was 0a). Found it in my log as well. Any idea what this is?

Got any software like vmware installed?

 

[hagbard]

Does Hola count? I also have a VPN but its not currently activated.

Take a look at your adapters listed in "network and sharing" and see if there are any extra

 

[hagbard]

No. There is when I run my vpn, but I disable it when not using it. So right now it only shows one network.

BTW, my router log has a whole bunch of these:

Feb 2 05:00:16 unknown user.err kernel: CIFS VFS: Error 0xffffff6d or on cifs_get_inode_info in lookup

Could you please tell us the first six on both so we can look up the manufacturer?

 

[hagbard]

they both show as Dlink.

Does your router have MAC address blocking??

 

[hagbard]

Yes, tried that already, it didn't stop it.

Check your drivers

Just reinstalled, same issue

If you do an arp -a off your computer, does the mac address show up?

 

[hagbard]

No, it doesn't. It doesn't show any MAC addresses, btw, only IPs. The IP assigned to one is 192.168.1.133 (the one I'm using) and 192.168.1.132. Only 192.168.1.133 shows up with arp -a
