Sorry to be an idiot about this if it's a web-address 101 thing, but I thought IP addresses were supposed to be unique. Yet this particular series of IPs turns up everywhere and I cant figure out why... Is it a generic setting for any iMac?
Id been having a kernel panic attack earlier today (OS X forum Tiger v. 10.2.8/ Norton Utilities kernel panic) and at the end of the panic alert window (You need to restart your computer...) there appeared these two numbers: an IP address 192.168.000.003 and a memory location[?] 00:33:65:B8:2A:3A Presumably theyre both referring to my computer, a dual G4/500, although its boot drive is the 20G drive I took out of my late iMac Indigo after its motherboard died.
Ive pinged the IP from a PC on the same network and gotten a normal response. 4 32-byte packets returned in milliseconds... again it looks as if its my Mac, or perhaps its my NetGear wireless router, but it also belongs to a zillion other people as well... (Google 192.168.0.3 and see). What does it all mean? Is this a good thing?
Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks
