    Hi,

    What if my friend add my computer to his mesh, will he then be able to connect to my computer as easily as I can?

    And if so, how can I know he did it?

    He can't add your PC to his Mesh without having access to your PC with a login on your PC. He'd need to start Live Mesh automatically on your PC. Since a device cannot be a member of two Mesh accounts (at the same time, needing to be logged in), the scenrio is unlikely.

    Thanks,

    Why ask, when I can try? I forgot I have a second live id!

    I signed out of live mesh with my normal id, and signed in with my second id. The first thing it ask me to do, is to add this device to my my mesh, and I did. I rebooted my PC, without automatic login to live mesh.

    When I login to either of my id's from my browser (still onthe same PC), my PC seems online and ready to connect to. I have not tried from a second PC.

    So a device CAN be member of 2 mesh accounts.

    Unlikely? Ok, my PC is not password protected - as many other home PC's.

    It can be a member of two or more Meshes, but only when logged in with the appropriate LiveID. If you are logged in with one ID, it can't be seen as active under the other ID. Sorry for not being clear on that.
    I'll edit my original reply....
