Hello. I have home network that consists of two laptop computers and Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I have checked router log, just out of curiosity, and found out strange IP address in it. I guess that someone has entered my network but I do not know how to prevent this from happening or if it is true at all. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Hello. If you found strange IP address in router log then someone has gained unauthorized access to your wireless network. Easiest way to prevent such things in the future is to edit Wireless MAC filter list and to allow access to wireless network only to computers explicitly stated in that list (you can consult router manual for this).
