| 751882 | 2009-02-27 20:18:00 | Have you tried rebooting the computer? I have been asking around, and apparently the master within a network will only see those currently connected nodes/computers One assumes that your computer is the master within the network |

| 751883 | 2009-02-27 21:48:00 | Thanks 4 that. I now have to assume the intruder is still getting in. I tried setting up WEP but evidently I got it wrong and all sorts went wrong.How can I make our network secure without too much technical stuff.We have 2 Ubuntu PCs and one Windows XP.One Ubuntu box is wired and the other 2 are wireless.My present fix is to turn the router off when we are not doing online things. |

| 751884 | 2009-02-27 22:18:00 | If you set up or change the security on the router - you have to disconnect the current PC's then reconnect again ( wireless) - this time you will be prompted for a password to connect to the router - the one you set in the security . The router is what has the security - the PC's are simply connecting to that and the password is the " permission" to connect . The wired ones you dont need to do anything with . This means that if it were an unsecured / open connection, who ever was getting in will now be asked for that password as well . If they simply used your connection because it was easy to get in unsecured they will move on - if they have some knowledge and are hell bent on still getting in, they would have to know how to crack the password . |
