Network Security Question
I recently installed a Linksys router to my Cable modem. I am now using my computer internet via a wireless card I bought with the router. I am however concerned on the security of the network. I do know that my network is open for anyone to use and I think that has been happening lately. I keep seeing a message display in windows that there was an IP address conflict in our network. My first question is, Does this mean someone is using my network? My second question is, how can I set the network up so that only I can use it? Thanks
