| So it can't be a wireless hacker?
| My Router has local and wireless LAN connection ...
| internal IPs start with 192.168. ....
| that's why i was wondering ...

If you are using wireless then it may be a remote platform trying to obtain an IP from the
Router. Since it is the WRONG network, it will go nowhwere.

TCP/UDP port 67 & 68 are used BootP/BootPS hich is the older way of obtainuing an IP address
which was replaced with DHCP.

If you want to increase wireless security, make sure that the Router will only assign
addresses to provided MAC addresses.



Futher queries should be made in a TCP/IP related News Group to understand Private
Addresses and the BootP Protocol.
| which group do you suggest?

news:comp.protocols.tcp-ip
