How do I check who else is sharing my home internet wireless access?

You can check to see how many addresses are being handed out if you AP provides DHCP service.  Even if your AP doesnt provide DHCP and someone is just associated to the AP then there should be a screen or some sort of log that shows you who is connected.  It will show you the MAC address unless you have some other sort of authentication set up.\n\nIf your AP provides firewall service also, then you can check all outgoing connections as they are being built to see where they are going.

Almost all wireless routers have a utility screen that allows you to "see" the wireless connections that are present. You can always ping your networks broadcast address to invoke activity from all "listening" devices, and then check the computer arp table to see a list of devices.

Use ISA Firewall Server and in there u can decide which user can access internet and which can't. ISA uses Actice Directiry user...

sure, why not.. I always have ideas :) go to Control Panel, Network Connections, then do properties of your wireless connection(or whatever connection you are planning to use). and make sure that 'show icon in notification area when connected' is checked..if it's check but the icon is not showing then uncheck it and click OK, then go back and check it..then it should display it...

type modem test in your search engine\nseveral sites can show you what you've got under the hood

If you are talking about your personal connection at home, you dont scramble it as such... you need to encrypt the signals using the WEP encryption feature (if your router supports it).

Do you mean it is detecting existing wireless networks?  If so, then you should be good to go.  \n\nYou should have some kind of icon in your system try for your wireless utility.  The icon should also indicate the wireless adapter's status (connected, netowrks available, out of range, or no networks available).  Double-click on it to look at what the status is.  If it shows one or more wireless networks available, determine by their SSID which one you want to access and double click it. The SSID refers to each network's name--it should be somewhat obvious, but you will still see a few named "default".\n\nYour utility may ask if you want to connect on a one-time basis or set up a profile for the connection to simplify access in the future.  You would use this for a home network, or perhaps one at a location you regularly frequent.\n\nIf the network is encrypted, you will need to supply the necessary passphrase for the network to permit access.  Public networks should not have this feature; it is common with home networks and other closed or private networks.

Go to Start>Connect To>Show all connections. Then right click on either the Local Area Connection or the Wireless Connection (if you're computer is connected to the internet through a wire, right click on local area connection, otherwise do so to the wireless connection). Click on properties. Then, check the box that says "show icon in notification area when connected." Click OK.

1.Change the SSID (you already did that)\n2.Turn off SSID broadcasting\n3.Set up WEP or WPA encryption\n4.Use MAC address authentication to exclude others from using your network.\n\nBonus tip:\n5. Kick your neighbors where they "live". ;)

check your network/proxy settings

You could also do a service scan of the IP address to see what services are being ran on that IP address, or what domain name may be associated to that IP address.\n\nYou can do a lookup of the information about an IP address at http://www.domainwhitepages.com

I think on your Linksys router, you have to log into the router, and I think under Administration, you have to enable the log.  Then just check the log periodically, and it should give you the mac address and ip address of those who have connected to your router.  If the addresses don't belong to your PC, then you will know someone is accessing it that shouldn't be.

if you have complete control over your computer, then dont share any folders, you can see which folders are being shared by going to local networ-> your computer ...this will list all folders that anyone can see\n\ngo to the folders by going to my computer-> whatever folder, click on the folder and go to sharing and security, un-share the folder.\n\nby not sharing any folders, you wont get anything from the other computer, this also stops people from seeing your stuff on wireless networks- if you need to share a folder, do so temporarily, and then un-share it...gl

if you are useing windows open the command prompt(u can do this by typing 'cmd' on the Run command box). Then in the command prompt type ipconfig.It gives ur network details including IP, gateway etc..

it's your iP i think\n\nYou can check out this site to verify your public IP address:  mysourceip.com

Depending on the router u are gonna buy, the easiest way to prevent internet sharing is to NOT plug internet to the router.  \n\nThe 2 computers which have internet on their own should have their own modems.  To share internet through a router, u would normally connect ur modem to ur router and then the router to ur other pc's.  Since u dont want to share internet, just dont connect ur modem to ur router.  \n\nU mentionned wireless router?  In this case, \ngo to Wireless Network Connection Properties on ur pc, \nthen go to Advanced.\nMake sure internet sharing is NOT checked.\n\nThat's it.\nHope that helps

You can install a firewall on your PC or buy a router to connect to the Internet through.  The easiest thing is to not "share" any files on your computer.  If you go into 'Computer Managment' in Windows, right-click on 'My Computer' and select 'Manage.'  You can see all the shares on your machines and who, if anyone, is connected to them.  Just un-share everything until this list is empty.
