I was attempting to fix my son's computer and when looking at the
network config, I noticed that there was a strange computer hooked up
to our wireless home network: PimpDad (D10kzz71)
What has happened here? We four computers in our house and none are
named "PimpDad."
FYI:
Wireless netgear Router, Firmware Version 4.04 Jan 15 2004
All computers are assigned automatically.
I also have a Tivo hooked up to my home network.
This computer is somehow connected via my son's computer. When I
rebooted his computer, and checked the the attached devices, this
computer was no longer connected, but still showed up as a computer in
the workgroup. Should I just change each computer's workgroup? My son
plays World of Warcraft. Could somehow somebody have accessed our home
network via this game and was using our IP/network?
How can I make our home wireless network more secure?
