I was playing with my Netgear wireless settings and I noticed there is a strange computer listed.
I was wondering if someone could help put a password on my wireless system and block them out. |

Quoted:
1) Implement WPA2 or WPA - but not WEP (broken). 2) Changed the default password on your wireless router. 3) Stop broadcasting your SSID (stupid but it will stop kiddies). 4) Lower the RF power of your router if possible. What he said. Do you have a network printer? Mine reports as NP56372 or some such. I always look twice when I see it in the DHCP client list. |

See if the new user has any open shares and see whats on their drive 
Only works if they are on the same workgroup or windows "network" If hes just listening in on him then it wont show up I've tried that, the "mystery" computer keeps giving me an error message. I'm guessing thier PC isn't online at the moment. |

He's not on your network in the sense of computers talking to each other, hes on your network as in on your internet, and if he can be on that he can listen to what your comp and the router say to each other. |
