Would you help straighten out my thinking on my LAN setup as to what device should respond to a ping plus what IP it would be providing?
I was pinged by three machines in about 45 seconds last night in this configuration so I'm trying to figure out what is going on. My setup is:
Motorola Cable Modem followed by a Netgear WRN2000 'n' router (firewall setup) then two machines with only one active at the time of the incident.
Sensing some attempts to gain access to my setup, I added Comodo Firewall (only) to the laptop in case someone was getting past the router firewall. Last night Comodo, in a 45 second span, asked to approve, or not, a response to pinging, then another unit with one number higher in his IP then it changed to a third ping and it was one number higher.
Since the router has a firewall, my assumption was that the router would respond to the ping with the WAN-IP assigned by the cable company. (router log showed nothing regarding the incident)
If that is wrong and the router passes the ping through to my laptop, what IP WAN or LAN is the response to the outsider?
Either my assumption is wrong or someone is really good at getting through.
What should be happening here? Thanks, Jim
