Is comcast leeching my bits?

Post by jayray »

A comcast IP shows up frequently in the list of Hosts With Active Connections.

If this is indeed comcast, I'm fairly certain there's no malfeasance underway. But it shouldn't be listed there. Should it?

Fixed my pic. Any ideas why that IP keeps showing up?

WAN IPs occasionally show up.
It could be anything.

Maybe just a heartbeat from your provider checking you're still on.

I'm a little surprised that this didn't concern you more. I've never seen external IPs in the connected hosts list before, with any firmware, ever. Maybe other FW just hides this information? In which case good for gargoyle for including it. If it is just gargoyle, there's something odd going on that should probably be dealt with. :)
