I have recently set up a small wireless network at home consisting of 2 iMacs. One a G5 and one a 2000 G3, both running OS X 10.4
When I went to shut down the G3 last night I got a message saying that 13 users were connected to my mac via Apple File Sharing and did I want to disconnect. Any ideas why it said there were 13 users and not one?
Thanks in advance.

I take it you have a Wireless (WIFI) router? Are you using any security like WEP, WPA or WPA2 or is it wide open?

I'm using an airport, and it's runnning WEP security. I know that's pretty easy to hack but I don't think my old iMac's airport card will do WPA(2). I just bought the card a couple of weeks ago.
