Hey everyone... Today i was just messin around on my mbp and saw in finder the name "diggity" under my shared devices. I got info and it said it was a "pc server"

Then i went into airport utility and saw i had 3 wireless clients...my computer, my airport express, and my iphone...

then i clicked DHCP clients and saw a bunch of mac addresses and names...most of which I could identify... I saw my iphone, my fiance's computer, my neighbors...etc... But i saw "diggity" as a dhcp client...

I know nothing about networking or anything... I have an Airport extreme and have it set up with a WPA/WPA2 personal... on channel 1 with a password.

can anyone tell me if I should be worried about "diggity"?

the mac address is: 00:1B:2F:CB:9B:22

I looked online and a mac address decoder said it was made by Netgear...

any insight is valued!!! I just want to make sure i'm secure

From what i can remember...i have the following devices on my router/network:

xbox 360
HP printer
iphone
2 mbp's
airport express

How are the Xbox and printer attached to the network? Via, perhaps, a Netgear bridge?
