i have a wireless router i use to connect my pc's. it has 4 ports and i use only two, sometimes i see all four indicator lights lit up.

my question is, is that an indicator that someone is using my internet connection?
i leave it without password protection on purpose for the express reason to let other people use it. i was just wondering if thats a way i can tell that it is being used.

I don't think so.

My router only shows what is actually wired to the router. Me being wireless on my laptop does not show up as an ethernet connection, nor does my wireless printer which is actually a network printer.

So something else must be causing that.

ahh you're right nat, i just took a closer look, turns out i was glancing at the wrong lights, the ports that are numbered 1 to 4 only show 1 as lit.

duh.....i feel a bit silly:twich: thanks for helping me clear that up:cool:
