I'm looking for the person and device that is accessing the 10.0.0.1 on my Network, that is right. I have an Asus Router that has been illegally partitioned by I would assume who configured 10.0.0.1 as a Private IP Address, I have 3 Public IP Address, mine, and in the routing table two others that did not have the same subnet mask but recently that changed. And the Asus router has the standard Private IP Address of 192.168.50.1 but someone configured Port Forwarding to 192.168.1.1 with Vlans and a br0 of that goes to my side of the router because it has the same subnet mask. I realize some of this information has nothing to do with Wireshark, but it lets you know the scenario.

Thank you so very much in advance.

So the machine with IP address 192.168.50.112 is sending a QUIC packet to a machine with the IP address 10.0.0.1.

The packet that your machine received was sent from a machine that's probably a Dell machine, as Wireshark decoded the source MAC address as being one beginning with an OUI (which would be a vendor identification) that belongs to Dell, and is being sent to a a machine that's probably an Asus machine, as Wireshark decoded the destination MAC address as being one beginning with an OUI that belongs to Asus.

That does not guarantee that 192.168.50.112 is a Dell machine or that 10.0.0.1 is an Asus machine; 192.168.50.112 could be a Dell machine or might have sent the packet to a Dell machine that forwarded it to your machine, and 10.0.0.1 could be an Asus machine or it might be a machine to which the Dell machine forwarded the packet under the expectation that it would forward it to 10.0.0.1 or a machine that could forward the packet closer to 10.0.0.1.

Is the machine on which you're running Wireshark a Dell machine, with an interface with the address 192.168.50.112?

Do you have a machine from Asus? It might be a computer, or it might be a router.

Thanks for your response. I did not configure my Asus Router to be running the Private IP Address 10.0.0.1 nor is my computer configured to use that address. The DHCP Pool Range is 192.168.50.2-192.168.50.254. In the settings of the print of above it say only up to 192.168.50.253. I could put the beginning address to be 192.168.50.1 but it will not say and I get no errors on this. If I try to put 192.168.50.255 in the IP Pooling range end I get an error code.

Now the 192.168.50.255 shows up on my computer alive offline and online in Advance IP Scanner along with my own Private IP Address of 192.168.50.112 and they have the same MAC Address.

I'm guessing that whoever is illegally accessing ...(more)

It doesn't have to; your machine (192.168.50.112) just has to think that sending a packet to the Asus router will get it one hop closer to 10.0.0.1.

What does the command route print report on your machine?

If I try to put 192.168.50.255 in the IP Pooling range end I get an error code.

That's because 192.168.50.255 is the broadcast IP address for your local network; it doesn't correspond to a machine, and is not a valid address to assign to a machine.

Now the 192.168.50.255 shows up on my computer alive offline and online in Advance IP Scanner

If you mean "Advanced IP Scanner", then, if I try running it on my Windows ...(more)
