Hi: I am having problems with me wireless network. There is a new network that appears when I try to join my own wireless network. the name of this network is w-network. I know that I can block this network from my router but I need an IP or MAC Address. my question is how do I find the IP or Mac address if I only have the name? Thank you Mario -- mmartinez |

Hi
Look at the list of the preferred Networks and remove every thing that is Not your Wireless Network. http://www.ezlan.net/vista/vista_wlist.jpg Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) "mmartinez" wrote in message ...

You don't need the address for the "other" net work that appears in the list
of "available" networks when you are preparing to log on to your own. (I assume that is what you are saying?). Nor will you be blocking it from your router, you will block it from your Network. To do that you will need to access the control software of your router. In a browser window type in your router's IP address. If it's a Linksys that may be 192.168.0.1 some other brand might be 192.168.1.0. just Google your router brand and find it's IP address. Once inside the router you'll need to set it to encrypt access to it (Look for "WEP"). You will be asked to enter an access code. After you back clear out of the router you will no longer have a wireless connection. When you re-establish you own network connection you'll be asked to enter the access code you established. DONE. You will still see your neighbors wireless signal, but they won't be able to access your network, or the internet, through your router. "mmartinez" wrote in message ...
