Hi all!
I'm a bit confused... aren't we all. I have a Compaq Presario V2000 laptop with a WIFI card in the Turion processor (that's how it works, right? Like the Centrino?)
I do not have a wireless network set up in my apartment. Nada. Zip. No Linksys, etc. Just a direct cable connection to Comcast.
My questions are.... Can people with WIFI cards steal my bandwith? Can I tell by looking at the Send/Receive lights on my cable modem? If so, can this be prevented with a good firewall? Are there any good firewalls that are easy and not huge memory hogs? Norton slows me down.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks all!
