How can I block a unknown user to access my home network on windows 7?

I discovered an access device to my network which does not belong there. I can't access, so I can't really do anything to the extent of the see who it is. I thought it was just someone leeches off my wifi hotspot, but when I turned off wifi, they log. When I try to access this unknown, my computer tells me that, basically, the unit is not there. How can I put an end to unwanted access to my network guests? I think it would be not possible, given that the network requires a password to gain access. I did not the password to anyone except those authorized, and yet, here I have a device owned by a person named "Griff" connected to my network.

I have already been burned by leechers unauthorized hiding behind my IP and downloading illegal or pirated content. I don't want this headache yet. How can I stop this?

Here's my view of what has been published. Disabling the SSID broadcast will stop that casual leechers. #2 will not accomplish all that it's someone who connect to your network. #3 is a given... you need to change your password and #4 is probably your best choice, but I would like to change it, so that only the mac addresses you specify can connect to the network.

I hope this helps.

Rest all users, since they do not match this criterion, they'll hit the dap default policy which you alow them normally without applying any policy for them.

    How can I block unknown number or call number Caller ID? A madman who got hold of my number and do not stop calling me. It is ruining my business that I only work with a mobile phone number. I get unknown calls 400 per day and none causing business that my phone is busy all the time. Samsung has this feature, but I refuse to believe that Apple isn't a solution for this problem.

    Asking again not you will get a different answer.

    You can not. your carrier may offer blocking of anonymous calls. Contact with them.

    Better yet, contact the police. This is harassment. They can trace the source of the calls. If they are from one person, it is a criminal offence.

  • How can I block the users access to microsoft office?

    How can I block the users access to microsoft office?

    You must set "" permission to run on each of the Microsoft Office programs (word.exe, excel.exe, powerpnt.exe, etc.) such that the group 'Administrators' and the SYSTEM is allowed to run.  To do this, you do a right click on the .exe file, select 'Properties', then click on the 'Security' tab and change security as you wish.

    If you do not have a 'Security' tab, then it is because you have XP Home Edition, or if you have XP Pro with active Simple file sharing.  For XP Home, you must boot mode safe (repeatedly tap F8 at startup key) and login as an administrator to access this tab.  For XP Pro, follow the instructions in the following article:

  • How can I block others access to my wireless router?

    I have performance slow and even lose connections.  I have Comcast and they have suggested that it is 'noisy' of what they see on their end.  The technology said that he receives many complaints from users of wireless router.

    Hello

    Quote: "How can I block others access to my wireless router?

    By setting up the wireless router security encryption.

    Of the weaker for wireless security, more strong capacity is.

    No security
    Switch Off SSID (even has No Security. SSID can be sniffed easily even if it is turned off)
    MAC Filtering___ (Band Aid if nothing else is available, MAC number can be easily Spoofed).
    WEP64___ (Easy, "Break" by knowledgeable people).
    WEP128___ (a little more difficult to activate, but "Piraté" too).

    -------------------
    The three above are not considered safe.
    Safe starts here at WPA.
    -------------------

    WPA-PSK__(Very Hard to Break).

    WPA-AES__(Not functionally Breakable)

    WPA2___ (not functionally breakable).

    Note 1: WPA - AES the current interpretation level entry of WPA2.

    Note 2: If you use WinXP SP3 bellows and not updated, you need to download
    the WPA2 Microsoft's fix.

    Documentation of your devices (router wireless and computer wireless card) must indicate the type of security that is available with your wireless hardware.

    All devices MUST be set to the same level of security using the same password.
    Therefore, security must be set according to what is the best possible one of the wireless devices.

    I.e. even if most of your system may be able to be configured to the maximum with WPA2, but a device is able to be configured for maximum of the WEP Protocol, to the whole system must be configured to WEP.

    If you need more security and a device (such as a wireless card that can only do WEP) is now better security for the entire network, replace with a better device.

  • How can you transfer favorites among users. My original user no longer works?

    How can you transfer favorites among users. My original user no longer works?
    I had to create another profile.

    Firefox made regular bookmark backups, so that you can restore the backup from your old profile to the new. Although, I suppose that the user is unable to connect, you always have access to its files.

    First of all, make sure that Windows allows you to see the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps if necessary: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

    Then, down the old profile and copy out a few last backups to a more convenient location. You'll look here:

    C:\Users\oldusername\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\semi-random-name\bookmarkbackups

    File names include a data and County bookmark as well as random characters. I suggest you copy the last two at your new desktop or documents folder.

    In Firefox, you can restore the backup file by following the steps in this article: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. Use the option "Choose file" to find backups in your office or documents, as appropriate.

    Note: You could bookmark that something already in Firefox, but those that are not merged, they are replaced, so if they are essential, you can export your current bookmarks to HTML format, which can be imported from non-destructively after restoring. See:

    Success?

    How can I remove "the folder/Users/user/to/mygame doesn't exist." Terminal. Rises every time I launch Terminal. I am a novice. Thank you very much.

    1. Please select from the menu bar Terminal

    ▹ terminal preferences... ▹ Profiles ▹ Shell

    If the run command box is checked, uncheck it or enter the command to run automatically (if any), each opening of a Terminal window. Note: this is not how you define a default shell.

    2. If step 1 does not resolve the problem, see below.

    Back up all data.

    Select

    New Shell command ▹

    in the Terminal menu bar. Uncheck the box marked

    Run the command inside a shell

    If it is enabled.

    Copy and paste the following line into the text box that appears, and then press return:

    /bin/mkdir disabled_shell_files

    Close the Terminal window that opens. Repeat with this line:

    /bin/mv .profile .bash_history .bash_profile .bashrc .inputrc disabled_shell_files

    History Shell and former initialization files will be saved in a directory named "disabled_shell_files" at the top level of your home directory. It is normal that some of these files do not exist, and therefore, you will get error "no file".

    Close the window and open a new test.

    You may already know that files with name starting in '. ' are not visible in the Finder by default. So, if you open the folder that you created in the Finder, it will appear as empty, even if it is not. If you need to recover a portion of the data in the files of the shell, use a shell such as nano-based text editor (1). Make sure that you're not recreating the problem. Otherwise, you can delete the folder.
