Is someone hacking into my wireless network?

[birdie1971]

Hi all,
I've just bought myself a wireless router. I've set it up using WPA encryption and everything seems to be working fine. However, when I look in my router's setup there are three computers that have been allocated IP addresses � two of which are my two computers but the third is one I don't recognise! Does anyone know of any software that will allow me to scan the wireless network to see if anyone is trying to connect to it who shouldn't be? Any advice would be appreciated.

What does the third one say?

[oscartony]

are you sure the third isnt the router itsel ip address

[birdie1971]

The third computer which has at sometime or other connected to my network has the following info:
Host Name: new-host-2
MAC address: 00:11:50:a3:10:26

The computer name �new-host-2� isn�t one of mine and neither is the MAC address one that I have.

[birdie1971]

The IP address of the router is 192.168.2.1. The IP address of �new-host-2� is 192.168.2.4

Do you have a wireless Palm?

I have an article that might help, I'll scan it in.

Thanks very much spacechimp!

It's more an article about setting up the network securely, I hope this is OK?

[birdie1971]

Yes, that'll be good. Thanks again.

[spacechimp]

just click the free button, wait for the timer to reach zero, enter the security code and then it's like a normal download site.

[birdie1971]

Thanks spacechimp. Having problems downloading the file. I enter the code and set "session invalid". I must be doing something wrong...

[spacechimp]

It works for me.

Try this link http://dl11cg.rapidshare.de/files/14765163/506663882/wifinetwork.jpg although I don't think it will work.

[spacechimp]

no, it doesn't.

[spacechimp]

I'll host it somewhere else for you.

[birdie1971]
