I'm no expert, so bare with me please. (try not to confuse you, or myself)
***
Info:
i have a desk top PC on broadband
(not wireless or anything)
***
1. can other people on my street/area, use my internet connection if they are wireless? (or would i have to have wirless too)
***
2. If they can, how do i stop the thieving little b*****d's?
***
Reason:
I have always had pop ups telling me, the security had blocked something accessing something or other and all was fine.
Now i have ZoneAlarm on here, which i have choosen to see the info of what it is blocking.
Most of them are fine (just asking if i want to allow M/F or IE access the Internet) when i load up.
But
there is one in particular, that only happens at evening/night (about 20x) which roughly says:
'ZoneAlarm has blocked blah blah accessing the Internet'
and it gives this number 192.168.1.1
3. can someone please tell me what that is, if it is not someone else trying to use my connection.
***
Sorry for going on
Thanks in advance
