My network is security-enabled (WPA). Is it still possible for others to tap illegally into my network.... How will I know if somebody is doing this illegal thing?

you can login to your router and it will show how many connections are being used. Is there a way to Crack WPA Absolutely. You can also aonly allow PCs with a registered MAC address in the router. A MAC address is the address for a network card and each card is unique

I think if you go into "My Network Places" and do a search for all workgroup computers, it should show all that are on your network. I may be wrong but mine always show up there when they are on the network. If someone is using it without your permission, they may know a way around it, though to where their computer doesn't show up. Good luck.

Good advice from the first answerer.
Also, disable your Wireless SSID Broadcast if your router gives you that option. This will stop people from "seeing" your wifi connection.

im not positive, but i dont think you can do anything, i don't even think it's against the law. WPA is just a way to keep people from going into your computer. So just turn off your router when your not using to to at least make it a hassle for someone "stealing" your signal

Change the security key. Make it something no one else will think of.
