Data Doctors need to go back and read the manual.... LOL!!!

Someone connects to your network via wardriving
vs.
both u and the "wardriver" are on the same free area-wide wi-fi network.

You still have to protect yourself no matter how both got on
to the same network.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16085922 Fri, 12 May 2006 19:44:37 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16085210 en102 : Yup... some also have scheduling built into the wireless. Why leave your wireless up/open 24x7 ?
Use encryption, and also, don't leave your PC wide open. If your PC isn't open how are your accounts/files going to be accessed? The main thing would then be just securing your network from those that would sponge off of it, or download through your Internet connection. I only use the WiFi access when I need it. It doesn't always play nice with my bluetooth.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16085210 Fri, 12 May 2006 18:03:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16085100 kdepasquale : From the article:

Fixing it can be as easy as clicking on "settings" and making a few adjustments, but each system is a little different. To Stay Safe, you need to change the default SSID, disable the SSID broadcast and change the Default Password.

Unfortunately the news is not giving the public accurate information. Most wardrivers are smart enough to get past the disabled ssid broadcast. While disabling ssid broadcast is a deterrent, it's certainly not a fix. WPA/WPA2 or at a MINIMUM WEP is the way to go,]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16085100 Fri, 12 May 2006 17:48:41 EDT
