Anyone know how to tell if someone is piggybacking on your router? Is there some way to see what machines are accessing the internet through your portal? I keep WPA on mine, but would like to know how to check anyway.

Anyone dumb enough to configure their wireless router as an open connection is getting their just Darwinian reward.
