Anyone else out there have access to a neighbors wireless net. I have cable here, but I just turned on my laptop to do some work and it picked up someones wireless network...unprotected. I walked outside with it and it seemed the stronger singals were coming from across the street in the next subdivision....
Anyone else have a free gift such as this....

at my old apartment i picked up 2 different signals so i wound up with free internet cable for a year -- at my new apt, i'm the one with the router so my neighbors could be stealing from me...
i have been wardriving with my axim x30 and have been picking up in some corners of the town up to 30+ networks at once!!!! Lots of them are unprotected.
when my wireless is down i use my neighbors. thankfully he has a different provider so when mine is down i can still get on the net.
sharing is fun....but i got mine locked

my girlfiend mooched off of her neighbor's wireless internet for about 4 months.... i think they might have found out though, cos they changed the name and password protected it.

At my old apartment, I left my wireless router open and someone started stealing my connection, so I just set up the 128-bit key protection after several hours of headache and Windows XP wireless configuration, and it all works fine now.
