Title: file ends up on other computer
Post by: a_face on November 23, 2006, 10:09:57 PM

Last week a file ended up on my computer from my roomate's computer.  Does anyone know how this would have happened?  We have an unsecured wireless network.  Something similar happened to a friend of mine last year, where files from his computer ended up on his roomate's, but I don't know how.  I wanted to secure both computers so it won't happen again.  Any information would be greatly appreciated so I can solve the problem, if possible, and put her mind at ease.

By any chance , are both of these computers set up on a network to share a common Printer and file share ?

Is the network yours ?
