Buy it on Black Friday, then you can steal one for your Mam at the same time.

Not sure if his mam will still be talking to him, he can't seem to resist thieving microwaves. http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/showp...95&postcount=7 (sunday - task 3)

That's a different one that she doesn't want. Smaller wattage and all thatt.

JPaul..have you time then to pop into Soulseek? :)

Wireless routers are great. No-one seems to secure them properly here, it seems I get free internet access wherever I go.

well you could stop thieving them from people's houses:dabs:

Mine is secure, 64bit WEP. It can be much more secure but I figured that would be plenty.

However there are a couple of others within range which aren't:naughty:

I don't really know why people don't secure them, it's a pice of pish to set up.

Whilst typing this I realized I could probably access their wireless networks, switch security on (they wouldn't know the encryption key), set up a password for accessing the router settings and wait for them to spend a fortune on premium rate calls to technical support.

But that wouldn't be nice, would it fromage.

192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 would normally do it.

i tried securing mine, dind't work:dabs:
it seemed to create an alternate locked profile thing but kept another non-secure one running anyway:dabs:

I'm going to try now, but I keep having problems with SS.

It seems to get half way thro' loading up then crash. It might be to do with the unpossible amount of data.

I just sort of got annoyed with trying to access it and gave up.

It should be dead easy.

Switch on security and generate a key.

Then tell the computery things what the key is.

did that, and it worked...except it still had another profile type thing running without a password, even when i set it to have one:dabs:
