[ale] Lan Browser in Konqueror showing machine names not on LAN

[Geoffrey]

I saw something like this yesterday when helping someone else.  I 
thought that the null.null... entry was likely her router.  I'm 
wondering now if you're not seeing something outside of your house?  Of 
course this would be a huge security error on Bellsouth's effort.

I understand that this is common on cable networks. ???
