Before you get a WEP I would screenshot the evidence that someone's leeching wireless, print it off, post it through the offender's door with a note informing them that they are assholes. Then I'd probably piss through their letterbox

But yeah, put  a WEP on your router, that should sort it.

just click one them, and press the delete button on your keyboard.

(you might need to disable some of them first (right click, disable)

and about your question about seeing what devices are connected to your router..... what router do you have?- you can do it, but you need to go into the routers settings to view it.

Noooo dont use wep ffs ....wep has been cracked already, its trivial to gain access to wep nodes now, use WPA2 (or WPA on an older router) with a long password, thats still *almost* secure....you can do stuff like mac filtering and turn broadcast off if you want but it makes no odds, neither are effective if someone really wants in but if it makes you feel more secure, stick it on.

Easy places you may find other machines is my network places or control panel/network connections but if hes deliberately going under the wire then you may need to look deeper into your connections (netstat) or ultimately a sniffer (program) but more likely its just some twonk with a laptop that has no idea what hes doing, he may even have his own access point hopelessly setup thinking its going through his own, either way, switching on WPA2 will put a stop to it.

good hunting

Bell- Using Vista....

Start, Control Panel, Network and Sharing Centre, Along the left hand side, click Manage Network Connections.

Right click on the ones you don't need, deleting them, and disabling them first if necessary.

Nothing you do locally in your OS is going to affect the broadcast signal. You need to connect to your router and change some stuff.

To do that type in the IP of your router in your internet browser. If you don't know the IP of your router, you can find it by opening a command prompt (Run-> cmd) and typing ipconfig, the default gateway address should be your router. Hopefully you know your username and password, otherwise this will all be a  bit futile, enter them and change any settings you want. You should also be able to see all devices connected to the router.

WEP is fine. Very, very few home users are going to be capable of cracking WEP. Those that can usually won't bother because you have to spend so fucking long (weeks - well it was when I had a go with ethereal last year) sniffing packets to get enough data to be able to decrypt.

I like the guy who mentioned peeing through their letter box... that's just plain funny.
