Yeah, it took me three nights to run a full scan. The first two nights the laptop decided it'd had enough and shut down :C

That sucks. :/ Next time don't bother running it the first two nights and just wait until the third one. :>

Weren't they quite recently hacked?

Several times, but that's not a factor in whether Windows 8 links to sony.com

A couple of weeks ago I was messing around with the wireless router settings, and discovered a page called "Wireless Station Access List". This seems to be an an 'approved' list of devices that are always allowed to connect.

The /only/ entry in this page was the Sony phone mentioned in the first post - same name, same MAC. So obviously I deleted the entry.

Tonight I randomly wondered if there was anything showing up on the network (haven't checked since changing that setting). There's no Sony phone showing up. There's an Alcatel 5038X showing up instead.

What. The. Fuck.

If Feds call me and say something bad on you, it only prove one thing: Phone works.

What has changed is that now there's a pi 2 instead of a pi 1. Doesn't explain the entry in the Wireless Station list thing though.

The mac address checks out too for an Alcatel device.

You know kos, I had a similar issue come up when I had my laptop with me in a school. Windows indicated Alex's phone - but there was no Alex in the building.

It only lasted a few minutes then went away. Is it possible you are picking up someone's phone nearby?

Don't see how I'd be picking it up unless it was on the same network as me. (I'm at home, admittedly in a flat with people in all directions from me, but on my own network with a non-trivial wpa2 key)

Define non-trivial.

Can't be bothered looking back, but have you turned off bluetooth on your laptop?
