TOOLS:restart. settings.firware,ping test.
WIZARD:Set your new password; choose your time zone. set LAN connection and DHCP Server. Set internet cooncetion. set wireless LAN CONNECTION

Answer 1

I am not aware of any password. Typically people will use MAC filtering and WEP encryption. You would probably reach those through the set wireless lan connection wizard.

Something else you can do is to turn off DHCP after assigning an IP address to each of your network devices. At the same time you might set the LAN to 192.16.nnn.xxx where nnn is some number other than 0 or 1

Answer 2

Some routers allow MAC address filtering. If this is the case on yours you can just enter in the MAC address for the computers you want to allow and conveniently forget to add his. The mac address can be found on windows xp and vista by going to start, run (or the start search box in vista) and then typing CMD and hit enter. a black box will pop up, type in ipconfig /all and hit enter you will get a bunch of information. one of the entries will be your wireless network card, copy the mac address for it and then enter it into the mac address filter on your router (assuming it exists). This is a tough question to answer without knowing what type of router though. I hope this works for you, good luck. As a side note, you could also only allow the dhcp server on the router to assign the number of addresses necessary for the people in the house. Then when he comes over there won't be any left to assign to him (ah shucks). On a linksys this setting is found right on the front page half way down when you login. This method is not fool proof though. If someone doesn't have their computer on or leaves for a day or two with a laptop your friend may get their address . . . so be careful unless you know that all of the devices that you use are there and on pretty regularly.
