[QUOTE="vaughan80, post: 1168242, member: 32638"] 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, [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/switcher-hangout/31388-secure-wireless.html"]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/switcher-hangout/31388-secure-wireless.html[/URL] 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? [/QUOTE]
