    hi all,

    i am trying to find out if there is anything available to me to help me find out what ip addresses have ever used my internet connection in the past. Easier is better as i'm not tooo bright (not totally dumb though either) lol.

    Thank you for any help

    Download this tool "Wireshark" from this link http://majorgeeks.com/Wireshark_d4449.html just click on the page where it says "author" then download, it monitors all your networks, and it is fairly easy to use, if you need help using it, there are plenty of useful videos of how to use it on youtube !

    Best of luck Rusty ! ;)

    If you have something like a wireless router, some of them have logs of recent activity but they tend to go back only a week or two.

    Nothing else I can think of goes backwards, just monitors from now forward.

    If you have Wireless and it is not secure you can not find who is using it because he/she will use one of your Wireless Router IPs.

    So the solution is to secure your Wireless and forget about it.
