I have d-link wireless router DI614+. Its always on. Is it possible that somebody with a wireless enabled PC uses my internet connection even when my PC is switched off? I use 64 bit WEP encryption on the router. Tardus



First off - Linksys is the way to go - its cisco's version of products for the home. I havn't used D-Link with wireless however I know with the Linksys routers you can setup a list to restrict which MAC addresses can access your Wireless Internet. I have it setup to accept 3 MAC addresses, two are used and the other is sitting next to my linux box. There are 3 people who are trying to connect but can't because of that.

If you can do that in D-Link, provided its fesable, which unless your running it as a wireless access point it is (and i doubt sence you care who is connecting.) definatly do it. It will keep everyone out except those who you want in.
