Hello. We've been having issues here at home with our network for some time. We've tried many different routers, and now we're tierd of it and decided to get to the bottom of the issue.
Now, after looking in the logs, we found out that there is a computer that's sending around all kinds of different packets etc, the latest being netBIOS'. I think this is why the router randomly shuts all of us out of the network, these netBIOS' get sent around nearly all the time, sometimes with up to 3 in 1 second. Now, after just having a quick look at the problem, what we can make of the logs, it's a mac computer sending out all these packets and whatnot. Is this not weird? The person using this mac is careful about what he downloads, so to get spyware/maleware/whatever like this is VERY unlikely.
Not sure how all the other people on the network uses their computer, but I know that more than one of them are careless and will download pretty much anything.
Anyone had the same kind of issue? Can someone help? I'd prefer if we don't have to reformat most computers, but if we have to we'll do it.
EDIT: I can post some screenshots of the logs, if anyone wants a better idea of what I mean.
