Have disabled sharing but iMac sharing!

Hi. I am currently living (involuntarily, court ordered) with my very hostile Ex. He is an IT professional, and we share a wireless network.

I am running an iMac G5 Version 10.5.6 (Leopard) and I have activated every security feature I can find.

I have disabled all sharing, I have disabled guest access, I have the firewall up allowing only essential services, and I am in stealth mode.

In spite of this, he is obviously able to see every website I visit, and I am afraid he can view my email or the court documents etc. on my machine.

When I click on my harddrive icon, I can see his machine, listed as PC server, under 'sharing', even though I have disabled all sharing!!

There does not seem to be an option to disconnect him, or block him.

Please help.
 
Of course you're seeing his PC, because he's shared that. You can still _access_ other file-sharing services/PCs, you just can't _share_ your Mac when sharing's disabled.

If he sees what sites you're viewing, he's probably got a network router that monitors traffic. Does your E-Mail service use SSL to get/send E-Mail? If so, he probably can't read your E-Mails coming in/going out.
