[dba-Tech] wireless invasion

Hi Susan,
So you changed the password, set WEP encryption, filtering MAC
addresses, blocking WAN requests, logging turned on...some other stuff I
don't remember now

Subject: [dba-Tech] wireless invasion

I'm using a wireless router to connect to a second computer. The main
computer uses cable internet via a regular modem. 

The second computer is running Vista and almost daily shows activity
that isn't mine -- downloads, changes to email preferences -- some weird
stuff. My first thought is that someone's using the wireless connection,
but I'm not seeing evidence of this on the main computer -- just the one
that actually connects via the wireless. 

I'm running the Windows firewall and when I installed the wireless
router, I secured it properly. 

I don't know where to begin to troubleshoot this problem. Any help? 

Susan H.
