Can you tell if someone is stealing your bandwidth?

Ok I have done NUMEROUS tests on my router and modem and have come to the conclusion that someone is stealing my bandwidth.

Can someone either:

1 - tell me how to find out if someone is taking it? A test of sorts...

or

2 - tell me how to lock out anyone outside my house. I have 2 wireless computers and 3 hardwired computers in my house and want to keep them online.

Any is appreciated.

Yeah, check in your routers configuration page. Check the DHCP clients table.

Normally, you can WEP encrypt your wireless network, and you can limit the number of people on it as well. Default is usually 256.

I set mine to the maximum number of computers/devices that I might have at any one time on my network.

Yes, best for you would be to setup a WEP key for your wireless connection. Almost all routers can be accessed through the web browser @ http://192.168.0.1

You will need to add the WEP key to your wireless device as well.

All of this is pretty easy, just play with it.

Yeah, limit DHCP IP-serving to the # of computers You have hooked up,
and then do this as well:

MAC-restrict the DHCP's IP-serving, if possible in Your router.
You might need help with it unless You understand the stuff.

(A MAC-# looks something like: 00-0d-3c-10-ba-b9-aa-05 and all network-cards have a unique one)

I also recommend you go ahead and change the password on your wireless network at least every 2 weeks.

Speaking of which, gonna do that for my network now.

WEP Password protect your wireless routers...

You can tell who is connected to your routers by going to your router and looking at the connections.
