how can you tell if a neighbor is using your wireless Internet?

Question

how do you block this? I have an apple

Answer 1

Access the administration page of your Wireless router something like http://192........ (given in your user guide). CLick on the active connection through this wireless router. It will give you the MAC ids of any computers on your network. If you have more than the ones in your home, then the remaining are of your neighbours in the close vicinity.

Answer 2

The type of computer that you're using is irrelevant to the question.

What sort of wireless router or access point are you using?

You can tell if they're using it by whether or not you set up WEP or WPA on your router or access point. If you did not, then odds are that if you suspect it, then it's probably happening.

You'll have to crack-open the user manual for your router/access point and read it to find out how to show the current MAC addresses of network adapters that are currently connected to it. You'll also have to read that manual to learn how to set WEP or WPA.
