"Let the record show that the IP trail led directly to the defendant's router!" But yeah, I agree that people here are too quick to pounce on the; "Oh. My. God. You leave your wireless network unsecured!?!?" opportunity. It's just not that big of a deal. I especially enjoy leaving mine unsecured and then booting the freeloaders off when it seems like they're a long way into a particularly long download. Oops! Sorry for the long derail. |

yeah - I know that stuff, but I am in a cul-de-sac in a quiet village - there's not a lot of paedophiles n hackers wandering around with laptops n tablet PCs.
home routers have very limited range. If I scan for connections, I can just see my neighbors connections on either side, at v low signal levels. I''d behave differently in a big city. |

It works, thanks for all the help. What worked was when I used tthe SN# for the network name and the WEP# for the password.

I do similar things with the dd-wrt firmware I run on my Linksys router. The fun is endless when you have such fine-grained control. The cable guy made the mistake of telling me he was using my wireless on his lunchbreak. He now gives me very dirty looks -- I'm guessing he doesn't like the random redirects. |
