Locking Your Internet Connection when networked

[Linda]

I have a friend who needs help and I don't know the answer since I don't have networking. Can anyone help?? Thanks!

Here is her question:

Need help/ have a question: How do you lock your internet connection when it's networked with your laptop and desktop computers (I have 3 and sometimes 4 total) so that others can't use my dsl/wifi signal? I really have no clue and up until today have had no reason to block it since no one is down here year round close to me. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Read this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access and activate on the modem/router/wifi access point. I have mine set to specific mac address checking as well.

Thank you for the reply and help. I will copy this and post it to her. Appreciate it

did this get resolved?

I only seen it just now. I know that is very common to want to 'steal' free service. lol

It was all resolved that day Doreen. She had it taken care of before I could get back to her with help. lol Thanks!
