Wireless network?

I bought a new laptop and it automatically connected me to a wireless network, the network says : this network is configured for open access, so i don't know if i'm allowed to use it or not. I don't want to use it if it's illegal, but it sounds like it's a network anyone can use......

Wireless network?
Yes, many people that setup networks do it openly to allow others to use it, or they just don't know what they are doing, regardless is 100% legal to use if you got enough signal stregth... Trust me, you would be paying for it otherwise through a provider... Now a days wifi is cheap! There is no per minute charges, just beware, some people set these up so others like you can get on them then they capture all data crossing over their connection (slik eh?) ;-)
Reply:yes u can.
Reply:You probably connected to someone elses unsecured network. It is probably not illegal, but it is unwise. Because you just became part of someone's (whom you have no idea who that is...) network, if the person is skilled and has an ill intent, he now has an ability to do harm to your computer.





I would suggest you don't use it. Setup your own wireless network and secure it.
Reply:when you set up your wireless net work when you click on view for wireless networks to found your network id you click on your id then click on conncet that is ok to do coz you have paid to use wireless network ... now if you see other network ids in the list dont click on them coz there other people's network if you do click on there network and hit connect then your on there network and that is against law and ur security is not set on ur pc also if your found on to be on other people's net work and there (isp) server finds your connection they can call your (isp)server and have you cut offline then your (isp)server call the law and the law come to see you so just be on your own network id not any other person network or you will have big problems 1 your be cut offline by your own (isp)server 2 the law come to you take care
Reply:you can us eit, its not illegal. but the person who owns the router may not appreciate you using his network and can go into your computer and really screw it up.
