My isp just gave wireless connection to my pc at home and assigned an ip address based on the Mac address

i did a test and entered the ip and mac address on another pc after i used a network search tool and in few seconds i took over the connection very easy

I am looking for some security to prevent anyone from stealing my mac and ip address

Thanks for any help

Talk to your IPS about the problem..

Internet access via DSL broadband is indeed very fast and ISPs can offer different download speeds – quicker the speed, higher will be the price. If you are planning for a DSL internet connection, ask the ISP if they would also install a wireless modem and router at your location. A wireless internet connection gives you freedom and flexibility – you need not be confined to one place (the work table, for instance) and can access the internet from any spot (even the bathroom) as long as your computer can catch the wireless signal. However, ensure that the provider secures the wireless connection with a password.
Or ask them how to do it in your case if you can not control the Security.


From what point are they sending you this wireless signal ?
