Now if everyone can stop arguing over pedantic sh*te ~ perhaps we could get on with helping the OP?

Translation: I introduced the topic and there was some opposition to a couple of things I said. I have no strong counterarguments to give so would rather everyone shut up about this and let me continue to offer suboptimal advice.

where do I find my own IP address to check it, if they do give me the address the account was accessed from?

It depends if you have a dynamic IP address or static.

Dynamic means it is only temporary and changes everytime you log on/off the internet.

Static is a fixed IP address.

You will need to check your broadband user account and see if it tells you which you use.

Theres no translation required, arguing over pedantic cr*p gets the OP nowhere

If you think WEP is uncrackable your very mistaken

this is not it, but it is similar - flidjer756

Not particularly susceptible to pure guessing. If your name was Frances Lidjer someone known to you might guess the first part. The 7, 5 and 6 are much harder but become more possible if your password was exposed to the view (intentionally or not) of a third party.

The present one can be found by accessing your router. Whatever is the info page should have it.

You've done it again! The difference between "MAC filtering is a top notch security technique" and the same statement with a "not" in it is not pedantic crap but something which requires technical examination. Thousands will benefit from the discussion.

WEP? Who mentioned WEP? Am I in the right thread?
