    Default [Query] Unknown Devices showing up under "Network Computers and Devices"

    Well I found these list of unknown devices appearing under Network Computers and Devices in the Control Panel. But these are un-accessible. I am using DSL connection provided by the cable operators.

    Can anyone explain what are these?

    Some of the ISPs do that, it shows up in my uncle's reliance broadband's connection. I guess, it shows the number of users connected to this particular connection in your local area. Which ISP are you using anyway?
