Susan,

Forgot to mention that communicating with your own wireless router via
browser will require some form of 192.168.0.1.  I have a D-Link
router.  I believe that Linksys routers use 192.168.1.0 ... in any
event, something very similar.  The proper IP address should be shown
in the router's manual.

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.
