   	If you're talking about Nirsoft Network Watcher, that's how   
   your Wifi router sees your computer. It HAS to be connected for you to   
   use it as a router.   
   	Dunno why you have an IP address with an extra digit added. It   
   should show your present IP address.   
      
   	Do a:   
   	ipconfig /all   
   	At the command line to see your actual IP address. MAC address   
   should match too... and computer name.   
      
   	If they don't match, you have an unwanted guest. Change the   
   router's password to something stronger. Whoever complains is the   
   culprit. The wife? A son?
