is someone hacking into my nas through serviio?

Hi all, I went into Serviio just now and went to the Status tab and saw a whole list of internal ip addresses that I don't use. I have only ever accessed serviio using the PC i'm using now or my Sony disc player. so why i'm I seeing all these other ip addresses from my network? is someone hacking into my nas?

Re: is someone hacking into my nas through serviio?

I've seen that reported once or twice. It appears that some device on your network was generating random IP addresses and Serviio was capturing them. Windows will self-assign an IP address if it loses contact with the DHCP server. No, I don't think anyone is accessing your network through Serviio. If you don't have port 23424 forwarded in your firewall to your Serviio computer, then nothing can reach your server. And even if that port is forwarded, it's only accessing the web server function that provides access to MediaBrowser, and that isn't connected through your computer system in any other way.

It's also possible your DHCP server had a hiccup in some way that changed the IP address range and was temporarily issuing incorrect addresses. Electronic devices seem to have a mind of their own at times. :P

Ok thanks. There was an option at the bottom of that screen that seems to only allow my own assigned ip address to access serviio. I'll try enabling that.

That function is to bind Serviio to the appropriate network card when you have more than one available. If you only have a single card, it really doesn't do anything.
