lol my roommate works for time warner cable. we get free digital cable, all the movie channels are free, free digital phone, free roadrunner. pretty much if they have it, we get it for free.

i can pick up 3 other networks from my house.

now if only i could figure out how to authenticate and connect to them, i could then steal some good bandwidth.

with have two other networks in our house (we live in an 1890s house that was converted to apartments) both unprotected. no one cares that we use them either, its pretty cool

Go to Forums. Read a bit. Should help you with basic wireless networking. XP's Zero Wireless Config utlility should do you for 90% of most bandwidth stealing maneouvers.

Search aircrack (airocrack?). This utility will help you demolish simplistic WEP and gain access to EVERYTHING.

haha, yea thats why when you set up your wireless router you should aways enable mac address filtering and assign only the mac address for your pc. that way someone can crack your encryption but your router won't assign them an ip address. also you can rename the administrator account on your pc to something else, like guest and create a guest account and call it administrator just to ---- with anyone that hacks your ----.
