The OS is Win 8, with Bitdefender Total Security 2015 installed.
Two days ago, I got a new GTPL connection. I haven't bought a router yet, and so I connect the GTPL cable to the laptop directly and then enter the ID and password in the Connections section of the screen that comes up on the right side when I click the network icon in the system tray.
Today, I noticed that in Explorer, in the Network section, there are two computers shown: one is Dell, which is my laptop, and the other is "INTEL-PC". When I double-click it, a new windows opens "Windows Security", which asks me to enter the username and password for this network/computer; it also shows "Domain: DELL". This was never there earlier.
I disconnected, then disconnected the LAN cable, and the Intel entry vanished. After I reconnected, the entry came back. Is it someone connected to my computer, or is it just something that happens when you connect the GTPL cable?
Also, I have a D-Link DSL - 2730 ADSL router which I used to use the BSNL Internet connection. The WAN pin on that router is the smaller one, while the GTPL cable has the larger pin, I think its called RJ-45. The GTPL guy told me that I would have to buy a new router; my older router won't work. Will I really have to buy a new router or is it possible to use the router I have with the GTPL cable?
Thanks.
