Best way is to log into the router, when you are plugged in via cable you can go to start run and type cmd this will bring you to a dos prompt then you can type ipconfig /all look for the ip address of your gateway then type this into the address bar on internet explorer. Depending on the router you will need a username and password to login with then you should be able to go to the wireless network options. I would reccomend mac address filtering and perhaps wpa if support if not then at least enable wap

What Firewall setup are you using?

Your wireless router sends the signal as far as it can, anyone with a wireless card can pick up that signal if they are within it's range. If you do not want them to piggy back off your wireless internet you will have to access your router and encrypt the signal coming out of it so that no other computer except yours will understand it's signal. To access the router click the start button and click the run option. From there type in cmd. A black window will pop up, In that window type ipconfig and hit enter. Look for where it says "Default Gateway" Type that number that it gives you into your internet explorer address bar and it will open your router. From there you can encrypt your wireless signal. Be sure to put the password it gives you into your computers that are using wireless or you will not be able to access your own internet once you encrypt it.

I use Zone Alarm for a firewall. It has an option to lock and unlock internet acess.\n\nhttp://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/home.jsp

It is probably asking for the WEP or WPA encryption code. You will have to get that from the routers configuration.

sure, just set both adapters to adhoc, and use the same ssid and you should be good to go. If you are encrypting make sure both use the same key.

If your using AOL broadband, just set the router up normally, then sign on each computer with a different name, that simple :)

Set up a network key.  Type http://192.168.1.1 into IE and type in the router user name and password (usually admin for both).  Depending on what type of router you have, just go in and set up an easy to remember, yet difficult for others to guess, password.

If you have Netgear, type 192.168.1.1 into your browser. The default User=admin and Password=password. Adjust you security setting.

yes, you can use a "tunneling" softwarte, like httpport or hopster (www.hopster.com)

Login as administrator, and check under Security settings.\n\nRouter's setup a webpage were you can login and do this. just goto the router's IP. (like http://192.168.0.1/). Login as admin. Check under something like Security or Encryption.

Yes, the only thing you can do is try to filter out as many proxies as possible but those keep changing. I do not know how your network(s) are configured but can you block port 80 for the offending users?
