One of my neighbors has been jacking my wireless Internet. I called the company and had them change my web key and the web address but the little bugger got back in.
How can I find out who he is? How can I keep him out? How can I cause his computer to explode in flames and send shards of burning glass into his face?
Please help. If my kids "Call Of Duty 4" craps out one more time I'm afraid his head will explode.

:lol:
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

I remember reading about turning all images upside down.

Here are some simple steps:
01. Log in to your router and set-up a username and password.
02. Give your router/network a new name.
03: Turn off the Broadcast SSID. (This way your router does not send out a signal saying, "I'm here!!!")
04: Setup a Wireless MAC Filter. Nothing to do with Macintosh computers. Every ethernet and/or wireless card has a specific MAC address. You set your router to only allow your MAC addresses to access the net.
I live in a 300 unit condo and had this issue...
Good luck!
Deep down I want you to use Lance's suggestion, but that's a bit more involved.

Thank you for your help.
I'll have the kid run through the suggestions and see what happens. I like the idea of kitten war. It's not as visceral as shards of burning glass but perhaps a little more practical.
The upside down thing is cool also. I do have a suspect and judging from the times and amount of bandwidth he's jacking I bet he is...well..."jacking". That should put a damper on the little pervert!

hopefully you dont have any shared files/folders on your computer with personal data/info inside them. anywho, after you have secured your network, id suggest changing your passwords. ie. online banking, your pc, etc. better safe than sorry.
