Hijacked Wireless Network?

Thursday January 5, 2006
A user, peteliot, wrote into the Netsecurity Forums with a question regarding wireless network security and attempting to determine if a rogue wireless device had connected to his network or if some attacker may have hijacked his wireless network:

...There are only 2 computers on this network. Today my computer sounded the notice that someone had signed in. I checked my wife's computer and it was off. My wireless network is supposed to be firewalled and there are no other authorized users. My question is, how do I configure my computer to show me who is signed into the network?...
