i want to stay anonymous in a wireless network

[shashwat7]

I am a pure noob when it comes to staying anonymous. I have hacked a wireless network, but you don't need to know the history. The simple thing is that I don't want to be visible to the network administrator. I didn't even hack the network. I tried the default password ( bsnl_ap - 1234512345 or 1234567890) and I got logged in. But I dont want the admin or any user to realize that I am on the network. Like, when I connect to my wifi, I am visible in the network map as Shashwat. Off course I know I can change my name. But will changing the name be enough. Can the person trace me? The person is not an expert, just a common man, so no need to go to the details. I just don't want to be included in the network map.

You cannot hide completely from the network simply because you are a part of it and the router will always know you are there. However, you can change your MAC address to mask your "machine ID". Change your hostname so that your hostname is not something like 'yourname-pc'. Disable ping, open ports and all and any stupid windows sharing shit crap that spams the network with info. That is about as anonymous as you can get as far as I know.
