wireless network??Buk...anyone???

Ok, my DSL is down but I jumped on the closest wireless unsecured network. I dont know wich one of my neighbors it is. I have no idea whos it is.

So my question, can they tell I'm on it?

your neighbors are too clueless to secure their wireless connection, and you're concerned they'll find out you are using it? I think you're pretty safe there, pal.

Cool, thanks. I'm not concerned that they know Im on it. My wife needs to work from home and the dam thing is not working. She needs to log on to her network at home through a secured sit. I guess she'll be ok

Just don't try downloading a bunch of torrents or anything that will slow down the network considerably, or they are likely to notice and secure their network after a friend or someone else tells them to.

The only way they can tell is if they are smart enough to look for certain things.

If you have an open access to your computer and so do they... If you're on the same netwrok they can view your files in I-tunes and you can see theres as well...

That's the only way that I know of to know if someone is on your network.

But as stated if they didn't block it they probably arent smart enough to know you're on it.

But don't do something important that takes a long time. A lot of times your router can knock you off a f* it up.
