Windows 7 - What is a GATEMAC Network?
Asked By Hawkeye
12-Jan-08 03:56 PM
New DELL Desktop delivered 12/24. In reviewing NortonIS2008 logs for
1/2, I found the entry "connected to trusted network (GATEMAC) 0A 00
3E 23 63 46" with a threat rating of Low. This network utilized many
ports from 49945 to 50085. I checked IPCONFIG and I list three
9 .
Is this a "normal" part of Vista's status reporting architecture, or
is this some kind of port-stealing malware? Scans with Norton and
Defender show nothing. I have looked everywhere that I as a novice
user can think of, with no results, and would sure appreciate any help
from the Group.
Thanks, Hawkeye

I've noticed the same thing -- connections to GATEMAC network, and around the
same time, the hard drive randomly starts spinning and then stopping about
every 30 seconds or so. I reboot and it usually stops, but starts again
eventually.
Anyone know what this is?

I too have had this reported in my norton history. It occurs immediately after connecting to my BT Home hub, and the entry in the log gives the mac address of the bt home hub. This means that the entry is almost certainly benign and is related to something in the router, probably the router software. The entry for the bt home hub is probably the entry for the connection to the hardware.
Hope this puts your mind at rest.

Can't Network Vista-Vista-Mac Windows 7 I have 2 machines running Vista and 1 running Mac Leopard. I can't get them to play nice. The wireless to the internet through my Mac (airport). All computers can access the internet. My desktop (vista) can reach a mac location I created by adding a network location on my computer. My laptop (vista) can't reach the Mac at all. The worst part about it is that my 2 vista machines won't connect to each other! I see the icon for each in my network, but when I click on them I get errors. One vista has McAfee and one had Norton360. My settings (on both vistas) are: Private Network File Media Sharing On Can anyone help me? It's so frustrating having 2 pc with Vista sitting 5 feet from each other and I can't share ym own files. Security
Vista Not Playing Nice - Sharing Files Windows 7 Here's the problem: Vista Ultimate (non SP1) on desktop PC approved to run Vista. Vista Business (non SP1) on laptop approved to run Vista. When desktop had XP and the laptop had Vista I had no trouble sharing files / folders. Right after Vista was installed on the desktop (before a random reboot) I could share files / folders between both Vista PCs. Now I can't share files / folders. I have enabled file and printer sharing
Forward and backward compatibility from XP to Vista & Vista to Xp Windows 7 Vista movie maker creates files that, as the popup says in XP when trying to open a version of windows movie maker that is no longer supported"; XP Not forward compatible. Vista not supported? Can Vista make backward compatible files? As for Movie files created on XP running on Vista, I am disapointed to say that Vista backward compatibility is not present as well. This compatibility issues is not limited just to operating systems, Such as PC games purchaced at the store or downloaded. Where are the Vista backward patches? Where are the XP forward patches. Must we all be forced to upgrade
