Im using a 4 port router. I have two computers and an xbox running thorugh it. In the past prior to getting the isp i have now, I would see 2 or 3 DHCP users on the router all corresponding to what was running through it. Now I'm seeing multiple DHCP users .. a number more than the number of connections. What does this mean? Is someone accessing my router or something? Anyhelp would be great, thanks.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I believe that router's config doesn't show computer name next to the assigned ip. The assigned ip's in the list might be ips that still have a lease but are not currently associated with a computer. It must just be used ip's that haven't cleared yet.
Do you have any wireless accesspoints in your house? I guess it is possible that someone could be leeching wireless.

That might be a problem if that was the wireless unit, which it isn't. :wink:
