Sorry I can't answer question.

I saw this about 10 minutes ago and wonder if posting your IP address falls in the same catigory.

Hi and welcome to the forum.


This is actually an easy fix IF you own a router, and I assume that you do if you are using WIRELESS internet, but I need you to confirm what you're running.



Trend Micro will do well for monitoring connections but it won't stop people from breaking into your network.

What is your setup?

I assume you are using a broadband connection. DSL or cable modem?

Do you use a router? If so, does it also have wireless? If yes, how do you have wireless setup?

Do you use a software firewall?
