ok! Thank you for your help!

i haven't personally but i have a Logitech gaming mouse and it uses some software no idea what ARX is (sorry) But could it have updated and that is the cause of this?

Really? U sure? if that's it then everything's ok. so Everyone has this? is that it? still don't understand why it only appear now not always been there but ok if it's harmless i suppose i should just ignore it. Thanks for your help

No... wait doesn't that mean someone is "watching"?... because my pc is sending stuff to another pc with the same macadress?... wait what? am i wrong? pls tell me i'm wrong. Can a laptop have 2 local ip's? but that still doesn't make sense as i am not receiving any thing from 192.168.1.255 nor can i see it sending anything. And i googled what UDP protocol was and it only scared me more...Suitable for Multi Media streaming? Wha? and i have checked and it still appears in wireshark after i have closed chrome, steam and other programs like that. i'm getting a headache.

ok.. again thank you for your help i did download wireshark and watched a quick tutorial and the only packets that ip 192.168.1.255 is receiving is from my laptop and is sending nothing so i think/hope that it means none is "watching" 5 0.338313 192.168.1.115 192.168.1.255 UDP 305 54915→54915 Len=263 this is what all the packets says, so unless you think there is something wrong with that as again, i have no idea. Hopefully i can get some sleep

No don't worry about it, thank you for your help i really appreciate it

But why have it only appeared now? the vpn has not updated or anything and why is it still connected after i have restarted+uninstalled the vpn thanks for answering.

Well first i am using default config on my router. Second: i do think it is connected to my computer since it has the same mac adress as my laptop. Off course i can be wrong since i dont have any idea but if so why did it only appear now? why haven't i always seen it? Thanks for answering

i have already checked "ipconfig" and there is nothing new there no changes or clues, but i did forget to mention that i was running a vpn at the time when i first discovered this "other ip same mac adress" thing, can this be it? if so why is it still there after i have turned the vpn off+restarted my pc. I have never had this appear when using a vpn have been using it for a year. Thanks for answering me btw...

Well both mac adresses are the same but local ip's are different. i dont know much about mac addresses but are they not they uniqe? or is it posible that someone has logged onto my internet and has the same mac adress?

No have never connected with cabel only wifi.

Hello Who ever is reading, i am having a small problem with my... internet. Well it's not a problem persay but it needs some clarifications before i feel safe moving on. its kinda hard to explain but i will try. Well where do i start...i have 2 programs called Glasswire and Advanced ip scanner. i use them to monitor my network form time to time and i today got a strange ip appear, well it was a local ip 192.168.1.255 but it's mac address didn't add up. Since it is the same as my laptop that i am using, and it has another local ip 192.168.1.115 so is this something strange? i have never seen it before i have tried restarting and running a scan on my computer and nothing has changed. My system is clean according to Bitdefender. anyway i don't know too much about mac addresses and stuff a little not much but to me it seems like my laptop has 2 local ip's both who are active according to previously mentioned programs so if you have any idea of what this is pls reply and if you have no idea of what this is you can still reply with words of comfort. btw i'm new to this forum so be nice pls
