I am currently viewing my router admin page via browser and it says that there are two other computers connected to my router with 2 separate MAC addresses which are different from mine, again. and the IP's are similar but different, also the computers name is someone else who i dont know
Yes, it is a wireless router, I have currently just put both the mac addresses for his computer named "Jacks Computer" on the blacklist for mac addresses, how do i go about enabling an encryption?

Is this a wireless router? If so, make sure you turn on some security features (MAC address filter, WEP encryption) or anyone within a few hundred feet of your router can use it.

If there are other computers showing up on your wireless network that are not yours, then yes - they are connected to your wireless. This does not mean your computer is being hacked, but they are "borrowing" your internet. Try making your network more secure and password-protected.

no, with this information, it is not sure.
many softwares e.g. MSN keeps on connecting with different other computers in background, doing their own secrate tasks

do you have a WEP key set on your router?
if you dont one of your neighbors probably went onto your network
