Connect internet by creating a account in network connections.

hmm .. the above methods all are relevant if an alleged hacker is stealing the password from the original poster's internal network, LAN, right? I am not sure he has made that clear. I was assuming that the password was being stolen externally (WAN side). In the first case, the user should be careful in what other users he gives access to his machine and only trusted users should be given the password to the modem. In the second case, this matter is very serious.
Some of the above posters claim that passwords in the modem is not as secure. I was wondering, can those passwords be stolen from the internet (WAN side)?
Also, the original poster should clarify the following:
1. Does he think his internet usage is being initiated from any place else other than where he has his dataone account (maybe at his home)?
2. Does somebody else use his computer?
3. If other users use his computer, does he trust them?
