Jacking my Net

I think someones on my net nearby because Im sitting here in iTunes and someone elses music on the network pops up as Jc2's Music and I dont know who it is. (only 2 pcs on the network and 1s turned off). I checked the DHCP Client Table and theres definatly someone there, what should I do?

*EDIT* And yes its a wireless router 🙂

I have the firewall turned off in router settings because it was interfering with my 360 online.

My mom has a laptop for work that she needs to wireless for so I cant just turn it off, I heard you can setup so only certain pcs with the right mac address can get on, but its a work pc and she might get introuble if I tinker with it.
 
MAC filtering is extremely easy to circumvent. If you have that option it's not like it's a bad thing to enable, it's just not very difficult to get past if the guy knows what he's doin.

The best answer you can get is the one already provided in the second post. WPA. I would ask why you haven't already secured your WLAN? But anyway, just read the manual and flip to the security features section. WEP is better than nothing but that's also fairly easy to crack. WPA will lock it down, WPA2 preferably, if your gear supports it.
 
Disable SSID broadcast (and change the network name), enable WPA encryption, and enable MAC filtering.

Most of the time this is some n00b who sees a wireless signal and hops on, they don't care whose it is. Doing those 3 things should kill his chances of getting back on.
