Not to hijack your thread Star but I have a question along the same lines but from the other side of the fence... One of my lovely neighbors has recently installed a new wireless router and NOT passworded it or protected it in any fashion as Star is doing now. The problem is that my laptop continuously requests permission to connect to this new network. The signal is not that strong so i comes and gos and I end up with a window popping up intermitantly while I am using the computer. hmmmm any thoughts from the masses? Tipit There is a setting to only use secured networks in windows XP and Vista. |

you can log on it and ban your mac address  Wouldn't be doing that... illegal to get into someone elses computer/ property without their permission and modify stuff..... nasty things can come from doing such things... Possibly mention to them that you can use their internet and see if they fix it, |

You should be able to select a priority order for connection to wireless networks .... so just set them to the bottom of the pile. You dont need to get arrested for computer intrusion. In the US or the UK it could be good for a chunk of jailtime - especially if you get technically illiterate prosecutors / judges.
