While that may be the case, he's correct. I've had customers of mine get in trouble for things (not sexually explicit material) they weren't doing (such as someone riding their unsecured wireless and getting infected with viruses) and it doesn't get tracked down to the infected guy, it was tracked down to the IP of the gateway, which was my customer. :/

I have had two instances involving sexually explicit materials, both of which involved showing up at work with an FBI agent and a US Customs official waiting with subpoenas for user information and 10 pages of logs. :/

No matter how friendly you are with them, it's a dangerous situation.
ISPs can and do log Internet traffic. If you have someone accessing
your network and they access certain sexually explicit material it has
the potential to hurt you. Since the account is in your name if
someone downloads/views that material and it is logged and turned
over to authorities you could end up with the FBI at your doorstep.

It's a nice gesture, but you're betting off "Pulling the Plug" on
them.

I share my internet connection with my neighbour using my wired
linksy router but they are constantly hogging the bandwidth. I had a
go at using the web setup utility but only succeeded in blocking
them completely. Can anyone explain to me how to restrict their
bandwidth? TIA

Congrats; that's the silliest trash explanation of anything I've seen in a long time. You have too much time on your hands and watch too much TV.
