Default Flashing LED's when other modem is scanning

ATM i have 4 modems operational at same address.
One is directly connected, two are connected to a dual wan security router and the other is on a cheapo wireless router.

The other day i was scanning using Solster plus bruteforce and noticed that the Enet LED on the others flashed while I was scanning on the direct connected one.

The LED's flashed in burts when solster was returning scan results and stayed lit (how it looks when there is no net traffic) when Solster was waiting for packets to be returned.

I have just seen my modems behave in exactly the same way, all of them at the same time and it's not me scanning!

It keeps happening.

So, if your scanning my UBR, please dont use my macs!! lol

I've not put an original fw modem on stream yet but I will be doing shortly.

Will post results

4 modems and not a subbed between them? easy, boy.

I'd suspect your PC used for sniffing macs has a second NIC or something linking it to the network the other modems are connected to.

I'd bet money on the fact they all are interfaced to the same network somewhere
