hmm. my machine has been up for 2 days with nothing else on
that network. I have 2 network cards. 1 for the cable
modem and 1 for my home network (which currently consists
of only 1 machine)
Is there some sort of mac address query,
ie, can I do
magic_command 00:40:05:59:8f:dd
and see if someone on the cable modem side tried to use 10.0.0.1
and if so who they really are?
