Jobos Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Our DHCP address leases page shows a number of addresses with blank names. Any idea why?
ZeroHour Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Could be a machine being plugged in by the kiddies with its firewall on. If the firewall is turned on in vista for example and set to "public" mode the machine name wont get broadcasted. 2
