other people use our internet connection, what can I do?

I set it up to be pass code protected. then I had to do a system restore and now people are on my internet and hit me. I forgot the access code, it does not give a prompt for forgotten passwords. I thought that the restoration would also restore the empty password. Ugh... what should I do now?

Hello

Check with the router manufacturer for instructions on resetting the security on the router. Change the SSID and
Password for external users are unable to access the router. If there is a lot of users on the system
the SSID (name) and the password can leak, so you have to change them as often as necessary.

Check with your router manufacturer and their forums because they usually have great information.

Better to use WPA/WPA2 security if they are available and you can hide the SSID that will help
help others to see the network (note on some routers more hide the SSID)
causes of connection problems and if they find out the name he is more useful).

  • How will I know if other people use my internet?

    We have a vacation spot, we had not been for some time.  When I turned on my computer, it just put me in WiFi without entering the password.  It is password protected, but it was not obliged.  I don't know people in the complex have used my private WiFi.  Y at - it a simple way I can check this.  Ours is a private line, we have installed, so am a little confused, as to how someone else got in there...

    Most of the computers will save passwords for WiFi. I did have to enter my WiFi password on my computer since the last time that I changed it. Thus, the fact that you have to enter a password may mean absolutely nothing.

    You have a complex password on your WiFi network? The router must keep logs. See the documentation for your router how to access it.

    Next time you leave your holiday home, turn off the router before you leave or to suspend the service from your provider.

  • Can I use multiple internet connections on the same PC?

    Original title: network: help me please. (title 2nd edit: I have 1 dsl, 1 wimax connection I want to use 2 internet connection on my pc, use one of them to download and one for navigation)

    Hello microsoft
    I need your help as soon as possible. I have 1 connection dsl and 1 wimax I want to use 2 internet connection on my pc? Can you help me? for example, use one of them for download and the other for navigation. Please help me?

    Why not!!!  You can use "Sun xVM VirtualBox" (software that allows you to use another Windows throw Windows)

    You just need to have a usb ADSL modem modem. While you can link the usb modem to the virtual Windows. (And a download in the virtual Windows Manager). This (USB MODEM) is necessary because the main window does not define the usb modem ( again MUST NOT IDENTIFY) TO IDENTIFY THE MODEM IN THE VIRTUAL WINDOWS ACTIVATE activate the setting of the Sun xVM VirtualBox USB controller and then install the software of your modem for the virtual Windows and then start the download. After The Connect WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access () To the Main Windows. Then, start the download with it. So easy! only, you should spend some time to get rid of.
    I've tried it! This works.
    ATTENTION:
    1. you should allocate your hard drive for your virtual windows.
    2. If you want to transfer files between two windows, you must enable the USB controller in the setting Sun xVM VirtualBox .  And a Flash memory is required to transfer files between two windows.

    Is VoIP a kind of internet connection what operating system using VoIP?

    VoIP means "Voice Over Internet Protocol". Have a read of this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_over_IP for a little more in detail.

    Any OS with a proper application should be able to use it. Skype is a typical example, there are others.

    Not enough information.  You have provided no context.  You don't say what version of Windows you are using and you don't really describe the situation in many details.  Reading between the lines, it looks like you have a child who has time on the Internet you want to limit.  You do not tell us what tools you use to control this limit online, so it is difficult to recommend the right forum for your post.  Please update your message with a more detailed description of what is happening and what you want to do.

  • Problems with our internet connection

    Hello, I have a all in one HP touchsmart PC (running windows 7), and he has problems with our internet connection. I dot know if it is in the right section, but this seems to be the best in the class.

    The rest of my house to connect to our router fine (iphone, iPad, computer laptop) except this PC. I CAN connect to the router, but 5 minutes or later, he has a X red on the connection and said "the settings saved on this computer do not match the requirements for the network" I looked everywhere online for this, but it remains stubbornly disconnects every time.

    I tried to delete the network and try again, but he still has a red X and the message more each time. I tried to connect and Ethernet cable, still no luck. I am very desperate to solve this problem, because it's what I use for games. Can someone help me please? It would mean the world to me if someone could help me solve this problem.

    If you don't mind keeping this Ethernet cable connected, you might have a solid connection if you come to turn off the wifi connection completely and rely only on the cable.

    Here's how:

    1. Press on + R to display the run box, type ncpa.cpl , and then press OK.
    2. Right click on the wireless network connection and choose disable.

    That's all.  You can always reactivate if you wish.

  • My neighbor is using my internet. How can I avoid this?

    Original title: internet problem

    My neighbor is using my internet how to stop cela how to remove

    Carrie AnneWhite Hello,

    If your neighbor is using your internet connection and the connection to the router, is not protected by Word. How to password protect it depends on its brand. Another problem lies in the fact that if your router was supplied by your internet service provider they have atendency, well here in the United Kingdom in any case, to put a standard on the router itself password which nobody can see if they pick up and watch. It maybe your neighbor knows someone with the same ISP as you and hads simply connected using the standard ISP password. It's pretty easy to do using a wi - fi connection.

    Contact your ISP and ask them how to change the password for the default security or to consult the manual of the router and manually change yourself. Of course, once you have changed the security password you will need to connect your PC to the router.

    Here are some useful links:

  • I use Windows Vista and want to know if there is a way to show all programs, devices or equipment that are using my internet connection.

    original title: internet connections

    I use windows vista home premium II edition and I would like to know if it is possible to view each program, material, device, etc., which is connected to the internet at the same time on my pc and I can vew all in the same window screen?

    Hello nephew0117,

    Unfortunately, there is no tool that would give you a report on what programs are using Internet connection on your computer.

    None of the devices use the Internet connection on the computer if you connect external devices.

    You can check the task manager that will give you information about what programs are running and you can check what programs use the Internet.

    You can also look for some third-party programs that will help you monitor it. You can use your favorite search engine to find it.

    DISCLAIMER OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE:

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    How to stop messages from Skype that suddenly appears on my screen when other people use my computer?  using windows 8, but I can't control these messages (sometimes very) distracting to appear?

    Hello

    If you are allowing others to use the computer, set up a new account for each user.  They would then not be able to display your desktop or Skype messages.

  • VMware Capacity Planning without using an Internet connection

    Hello

    I tried run VMWare Capacity Planner without using an Internet connection. I have run Performance and utility collection of inventory and then I synced data. I was able to see the CSV files in the Outbox. I copied the folder on an interenet connection machine having when I click on synchronize data, it began to send the data to the dashboard. the data has been sent successfully, but when I am logged into the dashboard there is no data view. A message was displayed as not enough data.

    Please let me know if I made a mistake in my approach.

    Thank you

    can u check with the administrator of your organization, which has admin on dash rights and see if the data is correctly downloaded to the dashboard.

    also can ensure you that you use the same credentials on the two boxes on the client side. simple reason being it might be issue with the property user and group data that are downloaded.

    If your iPhone is locked by a carrier, you must contact the carrier to unlock. Note that this is possible only when the contract has already been terminated and there is no charge to be paid. Ask the carrier once more.
