I recently got a wireless laptop.... From my housemate's room, I am able to get online no problem using a wireless connection somewhere in our neighbourhood. This connection isn't available in my room. Several others are, but all but one of these have security (passwords, etc). However, there is one connection that I am able to connect to in my room. The only problem is that when I make the connection, I can't actually seem to access the internet for some reason. I can get into the router settings using ipconfig, and can't find anything blocking my IP or restricting internet access to certain IPs. Anyone got any idea how I can access the net via this connection? I know it's a little naughty, but it's not really doing anyone any harm ;) |

how do you know it's not doing anyone harm? |

Well, I actually rarely use the internet these days - just send emails to my girlfriend and that's about it. If I found out I was causing anyone any harm, I'd certainly stop :) |

ehh if you are skilled, try burning a cd with 'auditor' and booting that, its a linux installation with a lot of wireless cracking tools on it. |

Maybe that network isn't used for internet access. Have you tried guessing the passwords on the other ones? They are often very obvious. |

lol the joys of wireless t'internet when i get my laptop the fun will begin |

nah, actually i might give that a go :) username: admin password: password ;) |

why do you think its 'naughty'? Personally yes i know there is a cost to setting up the physical aspect of servers routers running networks etc...but internet access should be open and available 'wirelessly' for everyone & anyone that can get it... |

even if someone else is paying for it and you're using it without their knowledge? and jaroen is right, thou i would not advocate this at all. everyone wants something for nothing... |

it's odd there aren't any rules or regulations asking for advice on this message board regarding blatant illegal activity. if it was my message board i'd delete your account |

Housing and shelter should be available to all but I think you would have a poblem with a hobo breaking into your house and sleeping in your bed. Also some of the fuckwit ISP's cap or restrict monthly bandwidth usage and charge extortionate amounts if the limit is exceeded. If you want net access just pay for it and if you are such a low user now you would surely be able to find a cheapish dial up service to use. |

it is pretty shocking how many ppl don't even have a key on their router. given my experience, i'd estimate at more than 50%. |

when i lived in the city i left mine open by choice used to look at people's traffic who were using it though |

The only way I can access someone else's wifi here is if I hold my laptop up against the bedroom window, at an odd angle. This is both impractical and exposes my activity to the entire neighborhood. |

perhaps some form of camouflage could be helpful? |

||||||||

I'm saying no to his long cock and passing the offer on. you? |

|

what's the best way to off someone? |

I don't see what Dan's long cock has got to do with wireless internet. |

This is why I just stick to my usual internet connection, seated at the desk it is far more difficult for neighbours to get an glimpse of my "old chap". Unless they try very, very hard. Which they don't seem that motoivated about. |

maybe they're uninterested to such an extent that they would ignore your Dr. Johnson even if you had it pressed against a window. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
keep in mind that if you're using someone else's access point, they can sniff your traffic and steal your passwords.. an unscrupulous person might set up an unprotected access point just for this reason.. |

that's it. manicminer just lost his girlfriend because of his thieving little hands. |
