When I was learning how to get wireless working (just got a laptop about 18 months ago), I initially set up the network without encryption (enabled only during the time while I was testing and configuring), just to test that it was connecting, and when I had established that I was able to connect, I set up wpa encryption, which I have used without interruption ever since. The neighbour must have connected by sheer coincidence during this testing period. I am fairly sure there was no malicious intent. He might not even know he connected to my wireless, unless he got abruptly cut off during my testing endeavours, since his computer likely just scanned available networks and connected to the first available one (that happened to me once with fedora 12 when I was on vacation, when wireless was working -- it no longer works in fedora 13, except using cnetworkmanager). I have also blocked all access to the web using that IP address/MAC address (since I am unable to delete his MAC address). The router is a 2wire Gateway. Actually, I like it, but it would be nice to be able to release addresses. The web interface's usability is adequate, but there is no indication of a telnet interface. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
