Here's the situation-
I need help in identifying an unknown IP address on my home residential network. I am certain it is NOT a network intrusion via wireless as I have rolled the SSID and password several times, and it keeps reappearing instantly upon adding everything back. I have the following items in my network-
-Time capsule
-qwest DSL router/wireless access point
-HP7410 wireless printer
-AppleTV
-iMac
-iphone
The qwest router does not have the wireless component turned on. It also assigns all of the IP via DHCP. The time capsule has the wireless component turned on, and is transmitting at 2.4 Ghz in a 802.11 g/n mode. The imac is connected via ethernet, but does have airport switched on, although it is not the primary connection, the ethernet is. The time capsule is set in bridged mode. The AppleTV is connected via ethernet. An iphone is also connected wirelessly and is accounted for via it's IP.
This errant IP is seen on the Qwest router under the LAN table heading. I have accounted for each device's IP. The problem is that the Qwest router identifies every item connected to the time capsule as wired, because as far as the Qwest router is concerned, it is. Also, the network topography is as follows - the Qwest router connectes to the time capsule. The mac and the AppleTV connect to the time capsule via ethernet. The iphone and printer connect via 802.11 g/n.
I have tried shutting down the AppleTV, printer, and iphone but to no avail. The mystery IP remains. Is the time capsule disk treated separately, thus given it's own IP? Is it possible another device has two IPs (even though I've checked through each and each reports it's corresponding IP)? What else can I do to identify it?
Thanks in advance...
