I have a wireless network set up at my home and I noticed
the other day (while trying to add a new computer to the
network), that there is a connection that is using my
computer as a server. I don't know what this connection
is and it is password protected. I can't even delete
it. Now yesterday, there are things printing on my
printer that I (nor did anyone in my house) print off.
Any help would be appreciated.
 
You need to give a little more info. Where did you see the connection. On
your router/AP??? And how do you know It is password protected. I wish I
could password protect my wireless connection. If you really think you are
being invaded, DISCONNECT YOUR WIRELESS STUFF AND SHUT DOWN YOUR DSL
CONNECTION until you figure this out. How hard is that to understand.

It's possible that a neighbor has tapped into your wireless network,
intentionally or un-intentionally.

To prevent that, enable WEP encryption on your network.
