Hi everyone. I'm experincing a couple of problems but I'll post each one as a separate thread to enable others experincing similar problems to hopefully find the solution without having to ask again.

Should I be concerned about this? (4 entries in my security log):
(All the same REMOTE MAC : 00-0A-42-69-F8-54)

What should I do, if anything? :confused:

Hi Navarre,

Have you checked for viruses and/or spyware? I don't know what programs you would use on a MAC but it sounds like there's something on the computer, that shouldn't be.

Hope this helps!
