XP security logging onto Web

[Alan]

I do not have a web cam. I am not on a LAN. I have a
personal computer at home. Nobody can see me type in my
password but the people who live above know when I am
logging into the internet. My PC is not connect to thiers
in any way except when I log into the internet. When I
change my password at work I find that when I get home and
want to access the internet I have to enter my password.
I can hear them above me say my password when I am
entering it. They can see what browser pages I am on.
How can I stop them from accessing this data? I have a
fire wall.
How are they seeing this information of mine. There is
know way they see me phisically logging into the web.
Please help.

You say your PC is connected to theirs when you log onto to the Internet.
Do you, by that, mean that you're sharing your Internet Connection with
them? ...if so, they can easily be running a sniffer on their PC and see
everything that you're doing if you're connected to the same hub/switch.
