Re: Access my Home Computer

Yes - there have been a couple folks on the news and being charged for
purposely using available "wifi" signals around them - if I remember
correctly - they were doing scandalous things with it though - rather than
just checking their email or remoting into the university computer.

It's important to have respect for other too. Having said that most folks
have downloaded a song or movie or "borrowed" someone's software disk to
load a program they wanted.

I live sort of in the boonies but leave my wifi network open and allow 2 of
my neighbors to ride the bandwidth. If the 3rd neighbor did it without my
knowledge - would I be mad? No I wouldn't. What if he changed my firewall
settings, would I be mad then? Yes - but I would be more mad at myself for
not having a password on the router. I know the risks of not encrypting the
bandwidth and accept it - as I know the risks of not password protecting my
routers and using appropriate firewall software/hardware.

When I visit friends in another town and I have my table PC - do I have a
problem if when I turn it on I can get on a wifi network for free to browse
the internet - not me - but some would.
