Wonder if anyone could assist me here?
Turned on the computer this morning and a "Norton PF - Network Detector" box appeared stating that a new network had been detected. It provides the Gateway MAC ID, Gateway IP Address and the Local IP. It then asks me to make a selection as to which location I would like to use, either - Home, Office, Away or Use Custom Settings. There is no option to refuse to join this network only an "OK" button.
Im just cautious incase this is malicious or something?? Any ideas - obviously there are Numbers associated with the MAC and IP Addresses - can these be traced? If so - how?
Im also aware that NTL were working in my area last night - according to the server status page - perhaps this may have something to do with it??
Hope someone can help!
Thanks
James
