Hello Expert,
I need your help how i'm able to secure my wireless D-link at home. I want only 2 computer to access my DSL internet connection, only my laptop and other computer.
FYI, I have a DSL Internet Line. It's working. I bought a D-LINK, I've installed,
- Connect the DSL to the internet
- Connect DSL to the D-Link
- A cable to my PC
- I've turn on my laptop, i was able to connect to the internet without typing any username and password THIS IS NO GOOD.. I didn't assing my laptop to the D-LINK... That's mean anyone from my neighberhood is able to turn on his wireless and access the internet.
Here is a screen shot of my D-LINK configurations... How i'm able to assign only computers to this D-LINK.

ok i got hold of the manual for your router. click on the filters section on the menu on the left, then advanced, and then click on "mac filters" from the filters list. then click on "only ALLOW computers with mac addresses listed below....) and in the boxes enter in the mac addresses that you got from the 2 pcs and click apply between each one and make sure they are then listed in the mac filter list
ok in the section i mentioned above enter 00-12-F0-7C-6F-25 (0=zero) and call that laptop. the other pc, is that connected to the router via a wire and if possible do you have the screenshot of that like the laptop (ie the balck background)

Hi elieazzi,
I'm just wondering if you've had any success with the suggestions namunday and I made. Is there anything that is still causing you problems in this area?
I hope things are going well. Take care.

Hello Guys,
Sorry I was vacation... My appology for the delay.
Namunday:
>click on the filters section on the menu on the left, then advanced, and then click on "mac filters" from the filters list.
For your information, there is no FILTERS section on the menu.

OlivePeople... WOW, you're FANTASTIC...
Very good, so now my network is secure... I mean, does anyone is able to access my NETWORK, if I don't provide him the password?
Thank you,
Elie.

Wow! I'm so glad to hear that my struggles from a couple of months ago have helped to solve yours! :) Makes mine seem worth while!
If you need greater security, you might want to read up on WPA encryption, but I think the WEP is a good place to start. There are all sorts of things you can do to your firewall to make it more strict (and also to allow the things you need to have access) and online port scan tests that can help identify some of the common vulnerabilities. Generally speaking, if one knows the name of the network (the SSID) and the password (or key) and type of encryption, they should be able to access it.
If you're still considering the MAC filtering idea, to completely (and exactly) limit what computer(s) can access your network, on my D-Link router menu I can find it under the "Advanced" tab, then the "Filters" button on the left, then choose the "MAC Filters" option and get down to configuring for what you need. (This is close to what namunday described, but I believe I might have the advantage of actually using the menu as opposed to reading about it. Thanks to namunday for making me aware of the option! :) Good stuff!)
Thanks for the accept and the 'A' ... happy networking!! :) All the best!

i don;t see the option in the scrrenshots you gave but you are lloking for a setting called "MAC filtering" basically you want to enable only the mac addresses of your two pcs
on each pc go to run and type in cmd to open the command prompt
at the command prompt type ipconfig /all
look the physical address and right this down
enter these figures into the dlink settings
