AFAIK it all depends on what logging is available on the router and what logging has been enabled. You might want to ask your family member if there is a download limit so your music and videos don't use it all. If YES then how am i able to prevent this? As i want privacy. This is out of your control unless you have access to the router's interface to change the logging preferences.

Total Novice-Question Regarding Sharing Wireless Internet
Hey there,
Im using his Belkin ADSL Box, it sends out a wirless connection that my laptop is picking up. His laptop is connected to the box. My Firewall is up, and preventing file sharing ect. So does that still mean he can track all the web pages i visit ect? Even though were on two different laptops. Also another neighbour is using the singal, would the same apply for them? Thank you for your reply! Please help.. "Neil Harley" wrote: Zuzu wrote: Hello there, im a total novice when it comes to I.T.
