Just enabled the wireless on my laptop and Dell PDA and I'm sitting here in the living room watching AutoRox and surfing the internet on my laptop. Now, for the rub. I don't have a wireless router in this house. I have no clue how I'm surfing the internet right now. Anyone have any clues? I can't believe there's a free wifi spot in my suburban neighborhood, but . . .

This is just too cool. It's actually faster than my home cable modem connection.

What the heck? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Now to see if my PDA can do the same thing since it has wireless too.

It's absolutely amazing how many people don't turn on even basic security on their home (or small business) wireless networks. The last security class I was in we had a guest speaker on wireless security. In a 2 mile stretch from his hotel to the training facility he found over 200 wireless networks, with around 50% of them wide open to anyone, and another 25% using the standard security settings that came with the routers (which can be easily found on the Internet). That left only 25% that actually had decent security enabled on their wireless networks. And this was primarily a business area, the vast majority of home users leave security completely turned off because it's too hard for them to figure out setting WEP keys.
