I know there have been threads on here before about similar subjects, but i hope someone can help here...
I was suspicious that someone else was using my wireless network. I kept getting the error on my mac that read something like "another computer with the IP address ----- is using the wireless internet".
So I had a look to see what I could do. I came across this thread, http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/switcher-hangout/31388-secure-wireless.html
I changed some of my wireless settings, such as the channel (from 12 to 11), b&g to just g and then decided to include MAC address filtering. I have a netgear router
I got the mac address of my macbook and my girlfriends ipad and added them to my router settings. No problems so far. Internet is fine, dare I say - quicker than before.
I now need to add another computer to the network. When I type in my router address 192.168.1.1 I get the error:
"(192.168.1.4) is managing this device"
so... I type in 192.168.1.4 - firefox hangs for about 5 minutes, still loading, then it displays the "page cannot be displayed" error.
Any ideas what i've just done?
