hiya I have been reading the post regarding the wireless internet. I have wireless internet and dont want anyone hacking in to my connection but Im not sure how to make it secure could anyone help?? thanks

You should be able to log onto your wireless server and set up a password, check your documentation for how to do that. You should be able to do it all straight through your web browser. I set up a password for the same reason!

There's three ways to do this (depending on the router). You can restrict access to your wireless router by MAC address, which will only let the machines on you specify in the router's config access it.

You can set up a password, which will also encrypt the data transmitted between your router and your computer.

You can configure your router to not broadcast its name (SSID) which will stop people finding it in the first place.

Or you can use all three. Your router's config pages should explain all this.

If you are useing BT wireless the URL would be 192.1681.1......If it is Belkin Systems then it would be 192.168.2.1

Don't worry, judging by the responses in that thread it's fine and dandy if someone wants to freeload on the internet connection that your paying for and possibly able to access your sensitive personal details too.
