Unknown PC sometimes showing up on sidebar
Hi,
I have noticed an unknown pc showing up on sidebar, which means they are in my network. A month ago, the pc name is hpc, and now the name is home-jh. It is pretty annoying they exist there.
I have AirPort Express but I unplugged it for a day and the pc still shows up on the sidebar. I have 4 printers but the printer names do not match hpc and home-jh. I have iPad and iPhone, but I don't think they will show up on the sidebar.
I have run netstat commands on both PC and Mac. Is there any way I can track their public IP or IP since I just know the host name.
I am suspecting a hacker is DNS cache poisoning my router DNS cache because I freqnetly find my Chrome/Firefox/Safari browser usually say it cannot find the website, say, Google, or many big-named sites despite my internet connection is normal. When I wait few seconds or restart my computer, browsers is functioning normal again.
I have googled and searched this Apple forum but all the solutions cannot solve my issue and so I post this thread here. Anybody has any idea that I can track down unknown PC IP?
Thanks.
