[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1253421, member: 46727"] You're not being hacked. Those are computers which are on the same network as you and possibly have sharing turned on. Is your wireless network protected by encryption? In other words, do you need to sign on with a password or certificate? In any event, they can't gain access to your machine unless you allow it. Do this: Open System Preferences, click on Sharing. Make sure you're not sharing your machine on the office network. Look to see if any of those options are checked off. If they are, remove the checks and reboot. [/QUOTE]
