Hi all, been away for a weekend, with my girlfriend using the pb... now, on my return, i have discovered a few folders containing what looks like server connections to various individuals that have appeared in my network folder - i have no idea who these people are or where they have come from, whats really biting me, is that i cannot get rid of them. i am given an option to connect to these servers, but when i try, of course, i have to give a password, When i try and move said folders to the trash, i am told that i do not have sufficient priviliges for that folder...

i have a wireless access point in my apartment, does this mean these unknowns are using my connection some how ? how can i get these folders off my PB ?

any help/advice would be greatly appreciated :)

cheers

They aren't on your computer. The network window just shows available computers on your network.

Mostly likely, you're correct, other people are using your wi-fi and have their File Sharing enabled. The solution to your problem is to password protect your wireless hub. It's a good idea, anyways, because most likely those people can see you on their network connection as well.
 
ahhh, i see, right, so how do i go about that, since reading your reply, ive tried to encrypt it, airport admin assistant, choose WEP security - typed in a password, and bingo, nothing happened, i expected them to disapear, but there still there, ive got a dlink access point, so do i need to talk to my ISP?

cheers for gettin back to me :)

They should be gone after a reboot, unless those users' computers are still available on your network.
