| 317912 | 2005-01-25 08:56:00 | I got a 1700 NZD bill from Telecom for Jetstream last month from someone accessing my system. I run a wireless connection and had it open for a few days (10 or possibly more) while setting WAP, disble broadcasting etc; it took me a while to work all this out as am not that experienced. Any one has any smart ways to track the prior invader. I have down loaded Lan Guard and checked for connections. Nothing showed up. Thanks for advice! I really would like to track the invasion. |

WiFi doesn't have the best range, someone would have had to been parked outside your house/work for hours with a laptop to rack up that much in excess charges. In fact at $0.02 /MB over cap, they would have had to ream 85GB of data through your connection (assuming this is a home setup). At any rate, there won't be any traces if they have disconnected from your network. |

Ask to speak to the callcentre's team supervisor/manager and ask for a credit whilst explaining its not you. Would be good idea to say something like, 'Look, this is my average for the last few months, so no way would I jump so high suddenly, what can you explain'. Avoid telling them you run a wireless network. | ~sy~ (95) | ||
| 317915 | 2005-01-25 09:49:00 | if your AP is decent, it should have logs of MAC connections... It wont help you find out who did it any faster, but it may help persuade your ISP to drop some of the charges... The problem is that all you've got to go on is a MAC address, what are you going to do? Interrogate your entire township? The MAC could be spoofed, or it could have been someone who has left town... I hate to say it, but you may have just learnt the hard way to rtfm when you get a new toy, and you'll have to take most of this on the chin |

So you have an ADSL connection XTRA Jetstream and also a wireless network? Let us know what system you have and O/S. Wireless Network can be compromised by your next door neighbour and can connect to your computer then use the ADSL connection. Confirm this then we may be able to help. |

How is this going to help? If we know what software is being used then maybe we will know where the logs are. |
