lemme get one or two licks
Say I have a linksys wireless router and someone starts leaching my connection. Would it be possible to view the web pages that this unknown person may be viewing? If so would there be anything said unknown person could do in order to stop me from viewing his links? Thanks for the help.

Encrypt your signal so so one can leach off of it without the WEP Key.



Yeah I'll do that first thing tomorrow, but I was wondering if I could check out what he's surfing, or has surfed?
 
In addition to WEP/WPA, you can also use MAC filtering so only predetermined devices can connect to your router, and disable SSID broadcasting. You should also have a log built into the router. Just lookup the IP of the guy that's connected on your IP table, visit the log, and search for his IP.

And it be possible to view his sufing patterns by doing this?

You can probalby look at the logs and see what requests his browser is making (that is if you have logging turned on). Just connect to your routers web based configuratio and look at the Logs. You want to look at the Outgoing log. it will show you the destination URL.
