You know, sometimes you can't help making your access point open to anyone. There's always some whiny bastard that wants to connect his (believe me, women never whine about those things) laptop to the WiFi network, but hasn't got his MAC address registered on it yet.
Then, more of those whiners come in, and there really is no other option than making it open.

If the residents took a moment to discover the wonder of SSL and WPA, maybe they wouldn't have to be so paranoid. There is nothing wrong with connecting to unprotected networks.

most people on the network are using XP im afraid to say and 2 Ibooks and a linux machine... our set up is very basic no security whats so ever!!! plug router in and start wireless from other nodes.... not using wep's and also have not set up a Password for the router!!
(sitting duck in a nutshell)

id like a program to monitor Wireless strength throughout the house during the day and which computers are taking up all the bandwidth so i can either block them or limit them!!!
