    Phantom device on my network


    Phantom device on my network-phantomskyqbox.jpg

    This Sky QBox seems to be a permanent device on my network, yet it has no IP Address.

    I've compared the MAC address with devices listed in router and it's not listed.

    I have rebooted the router and it's still there

    I have no Sky devices in the house, nor do I have Sky Broadband, and I'm not a Sky customer, nor ever have been.

    Any ideas?

    Ah! I might change the routers IP details. I believe on my BT HH6 first part of the IP must remain as 192 but can change the remaining three segments.

    Cheers,
    John.
