kick him out

wax · 05-17-2005, 03:33 AM

hi, I have DLink DI-514 router and broadband internet. I set "MAC FILTER" in my router, only mac addresses I set can access the internet. However, I found my roommate who uses linux still access my router even though his mac is not on my permission list in my router. By the way, I test my router's filter function by using my clie ux50. That mac address is not on my permission list. I found that I can't use my clie to surf the internet until I add its mac address on the list. In other words, the router works.

I use Airsnare software that detects one mac address access my network every day, but every time a mac address is different. I'm sure it must be my roommate doing some tricks because he don't want to pay his share of the internet.

I was wondering how can I kick him out or block him from my network.Airsnare can just detect but can't block anyone.
please help.

kick the crap out of your roommate and break his wireless card...

that's about all the advice i can give for wireless security, i'm not wireless savvy

usually the MAC addy filter works, it does for my dad.

but be patient and you will find your answer, i know people on here have the answer for you. actually search archives for your problem, i bet it's been asked before maybe.

Strange, I thought the mac adress was constant for a piece of hardware, oh well. Have you tried reducing the number of computers that can be connected at one time down to one? That's the only thing I can think of.

No wait, just had a brain wave. Set a WEP encryption.

is there an option to username and verify password before you connect? that might seem trivial, but with encryption your Linux buddy might just give up?

Yeah... have you set any password for the connection i.e. WEP or WPA? Try setting one on the router and your PC.... i'm also guessing you have DHCP disabled??

Block his mac address...

kof2000 · 05-17-2005, 05:27 AM

tell him to pay half if he's going to use it.

tie him up to his bed, then get a butcher knife out, and i think u can take it from there. if not, then take a bat, and tell him to go on and use his comp. then just when he opens it yada yada yada, take out ur bat and smash the shit outta it.

the password protection thingy isnt such a bad idea either. lol

Simple solution....Change the SSID, Disable the broadcast of the SSID, change the password to access the router, assign your computer a DHCP addy, allow only that addy to connect. No more bandwidth theif.

sounds like your house mate may know his stuff, so if he really want to he will be able to get past every security measure listed hear. Except the one were you kick the crap out of him. You could turn off wireless conection were your not using it, that may at least bug him a bit.
