Hey,
since today the Finder displays a new computer as a "shared(/bonjour?)" device. Judging by its name it's my brother's computer, but he lives more than 100km away. There's no way he configured dyndns or any other means of broadcasting the computer's name beyond the LAN, so how the hell can it show up on my computer? I tried the usual permission-repair / reboot / etc. but so far I couldn't get rid of it.
The strangest part of all is that I have access to this computer's 3 public folders (see screenshot below). I'll ask for his password tomorrow to see if I can get a deeper access in the files, but apparently it is possible...
Is there a way to display this computer's IP (such as a terminal command), so that I could tranceroute it back and learn a little more about this?
Thanks for your help!
