Well jumped on the interweb this morning to have a look at what has been happening on Mac Rumors and thought this is a bit sloooow. Anyway it wasn't just mac rumors but everything. I reset my cable box which usually sorts it, to see the wireless lan LED flickering away to itself on my router. My powerbook was actually asleep at the time and this set my alarm bells ringing. Looked at the log on my D-Link 614+ to find that "Neo" (whoever he might be) is hooking into my wireless network. Well rest assured the wireless router cable was pulled. I poked around a bit further and I found that he'd even configured my firewall to let Azureus (filesharing thing) in and out.!!
Now to be honest I don't know a great deal about all this stuff and I didn't change the default admin password for the router(which I will obviously do now) so I can understand how he go into my router.
Can anybody give me any tips on how to secure my network so I can hardwire my eMac and wireless network my powerbook quickly and easily so I don't have to enter password when I want to jump on the web. Also what's WEP about and will it help me.?
Any help would be much appreciated.
