Do you have a wireless basestation anywhere?  Someone could be  
borrowing your bandwidth, otherwise, you've probably got a laptop or  
some hacked machine lying around, which appears to have an Intel NIC  
in it.  :-)

You could try firewalling off all traffic from IP 192.168.206.68 and  
see whether anyone complains.  You could also try looking at switch  
statistics to locate which port the traffic is coming from, or run  
tcpdump on the IP and pull cables until you localize the machine.
