| 741162 | 2009-01-22 22:51:00 | I have wireless, it is annoying having to enter a password everytime but I do for this exact reason. Seeing as $30 a month would get someone a connection of there own I don't see why people would do it. To quote Solmiester "NO RESPECT" |

Yes, but because he is logging into their network, he is given a network address assigned by there router, so it would look like he is using the internet at there place, not down the road. So yes, they could locate you, but it may take them a while to search through all the houses in the area. |

| 741165 | 2009-01-22 23:00:00 | The idiot here started doing this (there's like 6-7 wireless networks around here). 3-4 weren't password protected. I told him to quit it, it was illegal. He thought he knew better, kept doing it. After a while these other users must have realised that their networks were being used. Because now, he cant use any of them. I would let him use my access, BUT since he likes using P2P, thats not going to happen. Too risky if he gets infected. So he's been going to net cafes, and use theirs. And been infected twice (using a USB flash drive) |

| 741166 | 2009-01-22 23:09:00 | The best thing to do is simply go to your neighbor and let them know that their wireless network is not secure. Offer them wireless security options (if you can) or pass on to someone who can provide this service then DISCONNECT & DO NOT USE THEIR WIRELESS CONNECTION at all. Simple! | GR8Metal (14133) | ||
| 741167 | 2009-01-22 23:12:00 | Well theres a LOT of neighbours here. I'm not going to EVERY single one. To find out who's got wireless Theres like a 42 flat apartment block opposite us. 6 flat apartment across the road. 5 flats where I am. And the rest of the houses down / across the road |

To quote Solmiester "NO RESPECT" Q, you should need to input the password everytime mate, if using windows zero wireless, you should be able to save the settings... |

Or just a cheap bum, living off others? im a teenager good guess |
