My neighbor & my IP address askleo.com
– The only way your neighbor can truly be using your IP address is if they are somehow on your local network.
– The most common scenario is that they’ve connected to your open wireless hotspot. Secure the hotspot by adding a wireless password.
– It’s also possible that your IP address has changed, and was once theirs.
– It’s also very easy to misread IP address information depending on your source.
– Malicious software on your machine could also be sending email appearing to be from your neighbor.
