Can I see who's using my internet connection?

Is there any kind of diagnostic software that lets me see if someone else is piggy-backing my internet connection?
I have a wireless network that's password protected but I seem to get some strange behaviour sometimes & I was curious to see if anyone else was using my connection.

The Airport Management Tools will show which devices by MAC address are connected to your network.

Can i see who is using my wifi

can i see who is using my wifi????

We can't help you, you will need to call a local PC/Mac tech to come in and secure your network, likely they will recommend a newer faster router that has better security and fresher firmware updates.
Plus they can set your routers channel(s) to be far away from others in the area that might be causing your problems.
It's a shame but a lot of the older routers were shipped to be easy to set up by the user, but are severly lacking in security so anyone in the neighborhood can use it or hack it.
Print out my guide and ask the comptuer tech to apply those strick standards to your router or new one, you'll be secure after that.
Even the Comcast router/modems are insecure now despite enabling WPA2(AES) because they don't use enough random characters and only numbers, which is easy to crack on any computer with a decent graphics card.
It would take a massive botnet several hundred years to brute force my network.

How do i see who is using my wifi

How can I see who is using my airport wifi signal?

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you double click on the AirPort Extrme icon
Wireless Clients will be displayed. Click the small arrow next to each client for more details on each connection.
If you see 5 wireless clients.....and you only have 4 wireless devices.....you may have an univited guest on your network.

Who's using my internet???

Hello, I was wondering if their was a way to check to see who is on my wireless network. I'm using a linksys wireless-b router model BEFW11S4 (if that helps). In the last couple days my wireless connection to a certain computer has been very slow plus today its giving me the low limited connectivity error message. Which causes it not to connect to my router. I went into my linksys router setup, changed the password. Now i go into Status, then Local Network then DHCP Client List. Now I kinda remember which names i put on my computers, I have the main one thats connected thrue an ethernet to my router, then 2 other wireless ones in other rooms. I saw that my pc's listed on that list but I also see a 4th connection named "Kayla" connected thrue a wireless connection. I just dont know any kayla's and im starting to guess it might be one of my neighbor's leeching my wifi. I know this is a dumb question but how do I check to see what every one of my pc's is named, so that i can identify whos who on that client list. Also my original question is , how can I see whos on my wifi, other than that setup page way. Any suggestions tips will help, thank you.

The DHCP client list is one resource to find about computers which use DHCP to get an IP address.
The Wireless MAC Client List shows you currently connnected clients. You should find this list somewhere on the Wireless MAC Address Filtering tab (I don't know how it is called on your router).
I would go through all your computers and write down the MAC addresses of the ethernet and wireless card/adapter. You can see the MAC address either printed on a label on the computer/card/adapter or you can open a command prompt window in Windows ("Run..." and enter "cmd") and enter "ipconfig /all". The "physical address" is the MAC address. It consists of 12 hexadecimal digits separated by '-' or ':'. Be sure to pick the right one for the ethernet adapter (local area connection) and your wireless card.
If you see other MAC addresses in the wireless client list of the router someone else is connecting to your router (and possibly your network, your computers, your internet connection). You can search for the manufacturer of the wireless card at the IEEE website. You enter the first six digits of the MAC address (e.g. 00-b2-a1) into the search field and it returns the company to is allocated to. Maybe this gives you an idea...
Have you setup wireless security. For a secure router/wireless network you must:
- change the router configuration password from 'admin' to something else.
- change the network name/SSID to something unique.
- enable WPA or WPA2 security with a strong preshared-key.
Don't use WEP, it is cracked within a few minutes. The wireless mac address filtering list won't really protect it either as MAC addresses are easily forged.

Can't see who has replied to the thread in the forum, its pointess?

What's the point in creating a system where you can't see who has replied to the thread? Its absolutely F**CKING pointless? Does anyone at Adobe have any brains or are they all sitting with their heads up their backsides?
Surely before you release such garbage you test for these very simple issues, right?
osgood_(NOT M Golding) If anyone at Adobe is monitoring this please get my screen named changed to what it was previously as well.

It needs a 'latest reply' on the posted list page like the old version otherwise you have no idea if anyone has replied to the post or not without opening it.

The line below is not that necessary in the order of priority, which for all intense and purposes is quite useless. I don't really care about how long ago something was posted or where it was posted but an indication to show 'updated' posts and by who is vital.
9 minutes ago in Dreamweaver support forum
Why do we even need 'Dreamweaver support forum'. We already know that's where we are! I guess a selection of posts from other forums may appear in a 'general' postings list somewhere, but who really cares - if I'm asking a question related to DW that's the forum I'm going to, not a general list as I don't care a monkey knackers what's been posted in Fireworks or InDesign or Illustrator. If I did I'd go to those forums.
If you are tracking several postings it is going to become hugely annoying for both the person who has asked the question and the people helping the original poster as many replies will potentially go unnoticed and not resolved.
And what's with the silly horizontal scroll bar being created for long lines of text? That's annoying too.
Plenty of teething issue you need to get your head around over the next few weeks.

My ipod 5th gen says it is connected to the internet and i can go on apps that require an internet connection but whe i try to use the weather or another app that uses your current location it cant find me???

If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

Can my ipad 3 wifi use an internet dongle

can my ipad 3 wifi use an internet dongle attached to it????

No. The iPad has no USB port to attach a dongle to it. And while the Camera connection Kit may support USB drives, I doubt any dongle would get recognized by the iPad through it.
Your best bet is too look for a portable Wifi hotspot or Mifi device.

My touchscreen blacks out while on a call so I can't multitask. If I am on a call and a new call comes in, I can't see who is calling or even think of answering because the screen is blacked out.

Thank you so very much! My husband is in Afghanistan and calls at different times. If I am on a call and can't answer him it could be days before I hear from him again. I never thought to just restart my phone! Duh...this is my first smartphone so I am learning. All day people were calling while I was on the phone but I couldn't answer. Thank GOD none of the calls were my husband because it would break my heart if I missed his call. Thank you again and GOD bless you! Ashley Combahee

Does anyone know how to set up a macbook pro so that other computers can join me and use my internet connection?

Does anyone know how to set up a macbook pro so that other computers can join me and use my internet connection?

Have you set up any security on the Mac Connection Sharing?
Sorry but I don't use that so I'm not familiar with the settings.
But if you haven't setup and security the iPhone might not mind but I know most Windows computers do not like to connect to Open WiFi. and make sure it is WPA or WPA2.
Then again it may be a setting in the connection sharing like some type of MAC filtering or it may simply be that Mac OS X connection sharing only allows one connection at a time. Try disconnecting your phone and then connect the PC.
As to Linc's response about Windows.
Windows basically does care about connecting to open, unsecured, WiFi. But it will normally pop up a windows asking "Are myou sure you want to connect to this open network". And a simple click on yes will get you connected and an IP address.
So this is clearly a Mac OS X problem.

How do I find out who is sharing my internet connection?

I have enabled Internet Sharing on my ethernet-connected PowerMac G4 (running Tiger) through its Airport card. What utility do I use to see who is actually using the connection?

That has nothing to do with OS X or your iMac, if you think someone has been using your Internet connection then you need to turn on the security on your WI-FI router. Please look in the owners manual of your router for instructions.

Connect 2 Computers remotely using different internet connections

I want to connect 2 Mac, or PC and Mac remotely using different internet connections and my main purpose is to see the Desktop screen of one computer from another computer. Like my home computer I want to connect with my Job computer. Actually I have connected WebCam at my Home computer & I want to see the dektop of my home computer from Job computer.
So, please let me know if you know any software for the solution.

There are numerous implementations of VNC that will work cross platform between Windows and Macintosh. The built-in Macintosh remote desktop is based on VNC.
