Hi everyone, I just got a new PC with a much different virus/network security program than what I am accustomed to. It is called Trend Micro PC-cillin. Anyway, I keep getting these messages that there are unknown computers connected to my network. The latest one shows an IP address of 192.168.1.101 — could that be my Linksys routher, which is how I connect my husband, or is it really another computer using my internet access? How do I tell? My husbands computer is not on presently so it would not be his, so I’m not sure what to think about this. Any help for someone who knows nothing about IP addresses? Thank you very much for your help.
You are all the best for helping me with this. I have it all figured out now thanks to the responses. It is so hard to choose who to give best answer. Please know I appreciate all of you. Thank you greatly!

I just bought the LinkSys Wirless – G broadband router with speed boost and the the linksys Wireless – G USB netwrok adaptor with speed booster. I treied to add security to the network, but it did not work, saying that the adaptor could not communicate with the router. It only worked if there was no security on either the roter or adaptor. So, I finally got it working with just WEP security, yet there is a stronger security available, namely PSK and WPA. So, if WEP is not the strongest security available, what can I do to make the network more secure and stop people jumping on to mine?

I am using a laptop as the main comp. I am running XP service pack 2 on it. I have the ability to set MAC address filtering, (but I don’t not know my MAC address, how can I find this out?) I can set a passphrase but trying this stopped the network from working.

Any ideas?
I already use firefox. I am not worried about viruses and spyware on my network, I am worried about people getting on to it from outside.

my wireless internet was secure.
then, my security expired, and i went out
and bought mcafee total protection, which includes
wireless network security.

it literally takes over, and secures it with the mcafee program.
not with windows, and how it was secure before, without
wireless network security.

i dont mind it, but now, when i try to connect from my PSP, it wont let me, it blocks my PSP out. So, i tried to disable mcafee wireless network security.

then! after that happened, my wireless network was unsecure.
and i deff. dont want that.
so i went back to mcafee and enabled it.

what can i do? i want my psp to be able to connect.

les_w_s asked:

I’m looking for a network security camera that I can put on the front porch (out of the rain/snow, but not out of the cold!). It needs to meet the following critera: 1) Can take HIGH RES pictures – I need to be able to actually SEE who was there, and identify them in court, for example. 2) It must be able to take pictures when it senses motion. 3) As there is lighting on the porch, night vision isn’t required, but a low-light feature might be helpful. 4) It needs to store the pics centrally on a local server via ethernet, it case someone tries to damage it. Lastly 5) It has to be “home affordable” – I’ve found this camera for $3000, now I need a home version.

I’ve looked everywhere, and all recommendations had horrbile reviews. 3 out of 5 stars at best. HELP ME OUT!!!
