    Does anyone know about a shareware (or any other) program that can tell you if other people are accessing and using your wireless router? I use a Linksys wireless router, but do not use security on it, and am wondering if there is a way to monitor usage. I tried setting up the WEP tools, but I use a wireless printer and an xbox live wireless device and it just ended up being a headache. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    try mac address filtering, it's much better than leaving your network open to the general public.

    I;m sure theres a few apps like the one you mentioned ov version tracker,

    just go there and type in "wireless" and I'm sure you will find them in abundance
