This idiot called Bigboi5 is using my Internet Connection, the only way I know how this is possible is by him using a Laptop. I live on a block, which has like 500 to 1000 people on it. My brother's Laptop is the only Laptop which is said to be using my Internet Connection...

"Your IP Address Is: 86.166.83.156"
He has been going around BYOND doing retarded stuff like advertising, one of the games that I'm playing right now is Dragonball Finale. He has advertised on the server I'm on, getting me banned. My brother does not play BYOND he is 20... This is really annoying, because if some idiot using my IP address is going around on the games I play and getting banned I can't play.
This is the second game it says I'm banned on, the other being GOA. When I log into the server he is on it says "You're banned. No multiple connections allowed"
http://www.byond.com/members/Bigboi5 <--- Look at his favorite game. GOA. Which I gave up on playing because it kept on saying I was banned on the server I liked to play on.
<--(9:27 am) Archonex: I'll set your ban to a timer. Three days.
-->(9:29 am) Archonex: Still not comfortable with that. But so be it. If I get some more evidence I'll send that too.
Just got banned 14 minutes ago.
I would like a BYOND Staff Member to check the IP Address of Bigboi5 and me, please. If he is using my Internet, then I'll have to block all incoming connections with a Master Password.

Do you know what a WEP key is? Look into getting one set up.
| |
Oh no. That's alarming. I'm doing this right now o_O, but I'm using a Computer not a Laptop. Does a WPA still apply?
| |
Looking at the records there's nothing to indicate the person using 'Bigboi5' is in any way associated with your account, which means there's no recent record of him logging in using the same IP as you.

Sounds like you are trying to get this Bigboi5 guy in trouble. It is pretty easy to not only check who is connected to your network, but also put a password on your wireless access.
Even if Bigboi5 was using your internet, there isn't a whole lot anyone here at BYOND could do about it. You left your wireless connection insecure, you are going to have to deal with the results. Just because he shares a favorite game with you does not make him the culprit. GOA is a fairly popular game and a lot of people are going to share that interest. | |
Then it would be impossible for him to connect to your same datanet without a cable reaching from wherever he lives to wherever you live, going in your house and plugging into your hub/router. Unless the router is wireless and you are using a Ethernet cable to plug into it while it broadcasts wireless signals.
| |
Then no, you don't need to worry about WPA on your system. Only the people connecting wirelessly will, when they detect your hotspot they'll need to enter a password to make use of it.
| |
I'm not but, they way the host has made it sounded is really unfair. I was pinned down as the culprit.
| |
You might want to ask them if the IP was a perfect match at the same time, or if they were blocking an IP range/if you were, by accident, getting assigned with the IP later on.
Furthermore, computer_id might help to solve on the trouble. | |
Use WPA2 then I suppose, but I doubt any BYOND troll will go through the effort to crack a WEP key when he's probably in his early teens and couldn't be bothered with such a complicated task.

You should secure your router.

EDIT: You should secure your router anyway, who knows what people could be looking at using your Internet!
