    Neighbors network has same netstat's as my network? Is this a sign of wifi

    internet theft? I accidentally connected to my neighbors wifi internet last night and when the internet started running real slow I ran a netstat command to see what was taking all the speed. After I realized I was on the wrong wifi I disconnected and reconnected to mine and ran a netstat just for a precaution and it had the same exact stats as my neighbors. We've had problems with our neighbors stealing our internet before and have since set a password, but its a simple one and they could have cracked it. Is the netstat's similarity a sign they are on our network again?

    How could they be on yours if you connected to THEIR network and then connected to YOURS???

    I don't see how netstat would tell you that.

    ipconfig /all would be better - tells you the ip address and gateway, DNS, DHCP, etc.

    Put an encryption key on your network, then you don't have to worry about it.

    Ask them or talk to them about it. It could be but don't go jumping to conclusions. You should make a better password..?
