install a good firewall and u r no longer 'visible' in the network.

Go to my documents, click the sharing tab and mark Make this folder private.  Most Local Area Networks (LAN) can be accessed via the "My Network Places " Folder , check that out and try to see if your files are there.

A typical application of MAC spoofing is to log onto a network and pretend that your machine is meant to be there. A lot of wireless networks for instance filter by MAC address.

I am a big fan of mac filtering and wep key. the important things to remember are check double check then do it again. Yes youll have to reset. then check the mac address and type it into the configs then check it again then double check. same with wep. its your best choice. if your looking for security also go for something like  52 digit hex encrypted wep key. if your using linksys and windows the best youll be able to do is a 26 digit

DO NOT KNOW , BUT I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE LAN

Use a router that will mask your IP it will be harder for anyone to get also use firewalls! If someone is stilling your passwords then you might be keylogged (hijacked)! Run a scan change your password and make it long use number's, symbols, upper and lower case letters and do not save it to your computer! save all your info to a note pad so if someone takes your account you will have it! And save it in a folder of a fold the harder you hide it the better! But remember where you put it! write it down to just to make sure you have it in case your computer goes down save it to a disk that only you will know where you put the disk! There are a number of things you can do! If you notice your computer acting up doing things your not doing yourself unplug your telephone line if you on dial up, unplug your cable to your modem if your on cable or dsl and if they are in your computer and you do this it will fry their computer! and if your on Dali up your ip should change on its own. If on cable or dsl there are ways to change your ip there to! Good Luck and get some protection!

One way is as follows:\nin the broadcast address that matches that network. For me it is 192.168.100.255.\n\ntake note of all the ip addresses.\n\nRemove the mysterious machine from the network by unplugging it.\n\nPing the broadcast address again and see which address is missing.\nYou are not going to make friends if you unplug a system without authorization to do so.\n--------------\n\nAnother way is to look at the system, the MAC address may be printed on it. Then there are some ARP commands that would tell you the corresponding address. NB: I am not sure this would work; a better guru than me should correct me!

Click  Start -> Run -> type "CMD" -> press "OK"\nMS Dos command Prompt will open.\ntype IPCONFIG /ALL and press enter.\nthis will show physical address (MAC).

Encrypting is a good idea.  I'd also suggest you use the MAC Address filter.  Basically every communication device made contains a unique number to identify it.  You can set your router to allow only this number to connect and use it.\n\nTo figure out your MAC Address take a look at this link:\n\nWindows only:\nhttp://help.stargate.net/broadband/ipconfig.shtml\n\nWindows and everything else:\nhttp://www.artsci.wustl.edu/ASCC/documentation/macaddrss.html

Use a service like anonymizer.  You basically access the web through them and their ip address rather than yours will be visible.

go to start>settings>control panel> network connections\n\nyou should open up a folder with LAN or High Speed Internet, with a few icons under it, choose the network card that you want to disable, right click, you will have a choice of disable or enable.

One sure way is to use a firewall to restrict all access to the interent to only your computer's IP address, or to the mac address if you have that option.

When you are in the setup menu of the router, there is a Tab "Wireless". In that menu you should find another Tab called "Wireless MAC Filter". Set the wireless MAC filter on "Enable" and chose "Permit Only", then edit the Mac Filter List. Insert there all the MAC addresses of those users they can afford to use this wireless network (Caution, the setting on Enable comes last). All others are then excluded.\nAll MAC addresses can be found on the sticker of the wireless adapter, or in case of a built-in adapter in a notebook, the MAC address is printed on the bottom of the notebook.\nFurther on I would suggest to use a WEP or WPA encryption (depends on what opportunities all users PCs have in common. You cannot have both encryption systems at the same time). As the administrator you have to setup this on the router and you have to hand over this encryption code to all the legal users and tell them to keep it secret.

By MAC addresses you mean IP addresses.  MAC addresses are the numbers uniquely identifying the network card and are burned into that cards firmware.\n\nHave you fully explored the menus on your Linksys?  I never saw one that couldn't be configured.  You would not configure the addresses for each computer on the router per se.  You would modify which range of IP addresses are handed out for dynamic machines.  So instead of "Start handing out IP addresses at 192.168.1.2 and up" set it so it gives them out at 192.168.1.10 and up.  (Just in case your friend brings over their laptop and wants to plug in.  The DHCP server is still there for him.)  \n\nThen on each computer you don't want the IP address changing on, set the IP address as static and assign it using the numbers excluded from your DHCP sever range.\n\n192.168.1.1 --Router\n192.168.1.2 --Redhat Box\n192.168.1.3 --WindowsBox\n192.168.1.10 --Dynamic\n...

Hello there. Go to applications --> Utilities --> NetInfo Manager. You probably will have to authenticate the program. To do that, click on the lock on the bottom of the application (if it is locked) and enter your administrator password. When you do that, the program is now authenticated. You then want to go to security, and enable root user. It will ask you for your administrator password to enable the root user. After you enter your password, the root user is enabled. You can then logout of your account and login using the root account. If you have your login window display list of users, it appears as system administrator. If you have it set to name and password, type in root for the username. I highly recommend that you put a password on the root account. It is a powerful account, and the root account can access every file and folder on the mac. I have screenshots if you would like them. My e-mail address is bfn1986@sbcglobal.net\n\nHope this helps,\nBrian

MAC Filtering is a waste of time if a hacker really wants access to your Wireless LAN.  Any legitmate client's MAC can easily be found and the hacker can then use that MAC as his own, he now has access.\n\nIf you meant WEP key (not WEB), yes, this will increase your security with NO impact to performance or bandwidth.\n\nPlease not the a WEP Key is easily crackable as well, it can be done in 5 minutes.\n\nIf Security is your concern (keep the hackers out), you should use a more stringent form of security such as WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key).  Your legitmate clients will only need to know what the Pre-Shared Key is.

buddy physical address is known in local domain only. ofcourse if you have a lan and you are using switches or bridges you can block the physical address. \nBut once you go out of your lan, no one knows the physical address....they deal with the IP address. Hence IP blocing is there.\n\nregards
