Let this be a lesson about Wireless Networks....

.... and securring your wireless access points

I am at someones house that has no internet access, no telephone, and no cable, no nuttin (damn rabbit ears barely pickup TV stations). Yet I am able with my laptop positionied in such a way as to grab the faintest of wireless signals, and thus due to complete lack-o-security, use that person's internet to talk to you now....

Normally I would not do it but I had to fix something that was broke somewhere so I had to jump online. No I would not in anyway "hack" someone's network (unless really deserved - J/K) and certainly would not do this person's butr you never know one someone will jump on an insecure network looking for bad things to do....

Maybe we should have a "secure wireless network thread" to walk some of you thru it. And if you are still "jumpy", I'll fix it for a fee (or plugs )
