Hi

Can anyone explain the following?:

--------------------------------------------------------------
Windows IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : mydomain.com
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.168.10
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.168.1

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
        Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 4.0.1.0
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
--------------------------------------------------------------

I only have one network card in my PC and should only have one LAN
connection.

Is this just Widows screwing up?
I also have a couple of entries in the firewall log about an IP spoof
relating to this IP.

I have now banned this IP (4.0.1.0) at my firewall though I do not
allow any unsolicited incoming connections and only permit a few basic
services out (web, email etc)

Thanks to anyone that can throw some light on this.
