[QUOTE="edokid, post: 1325537, member: 259418"] I just bought a new 13" MacBook Air so it has Lion, etc. I just opened Finder a moment ago and on the left under SHARED it showed my desktop PC that's always on, and then I noticed it showed my neighbours MacBook on the list as well. I clicked it and it wanted a password to connect. I then went to my router config page and viewed attached devices but it only showed my own connected. I then went back to finder and their MacBook had disappeared. My Bluetooth is on, but does the Finder shared only show computers on my network? Or does it use Bluetooth to find nearby machines as well? As far as I know they don't have my password but my niece when staying with me may have possibly given them the password so I just want to be sure before I change all my network passwords again. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
