Subject: RE: BS: Advice for protecting puters on a router
I suppose if it is out there, you could use it. But at what cost?

I set up my next door neighbor's computer on her cable modem, but her computer is so old and I had to lug it into the living room to set up the wireless modem (because she didn't want to run a cable through the wall to her computer room) then lug the computer back to the next room. I put in a couple of cards so the computer could receive the wireless signal, and when it came to set up the router to not advertise it was there it just locked up, would not accept security settings. So I can see her signal on my son's computer (he's on a wireless card). But we don't use her bandwidth.
