How do I stop Unauthorized wireless users access to my computer?
This has nothing to do with Router Security. This has to do with having a wireless card, and someone somehow accessing a port in my computer. This causes my computer to lock to a slow halt every now and then.. Its very annoying.
I tried netstat -a -s , but that can be misleading, as firefox uses about 4 ports and yahoo messenger uses about 2 to 3.
So, you really can't tell that way.

Are they actually accessing your computer, or just stealing your bandwidth? I had a problem with a neighbor doing the latter, so I started screwing with him/her. I unplugged my DSL when I saw they were streaming, cutting them off right in the middle. Next, I redirected any initial access through my wireless to a page that told them they were caught! Finally, I went ahead and enabled WEP security. I wasn't worried about my system itself being hacked, just my bandwidth being hijacked when I'm paying for it. If these people were just doing a quick check of email or hitting a few web pages, I would have probably allowed them to continue, but not when they go streaming like they were.
