I was trying to fix a wireless problem in my kids Vista run laptop. I
was in the Networks box when another PC showed up on my network. I clicked on it and it asked for user name and password and I could not access it. The name on it was HCooper-XP and its workgroup was tkccommunications. I pulled the plug on the modem and it went away, of course, along with my kids name he assigned to his computer. I plugged the modem back in and about 10 min later it popped back up. Is someone accessing his computer. My XP machine was plugged into the same modem and I couldn't see a thing in the Networks window just my connection. roalf |
