Thanks for that reply. I appreciate the geographical expanse of your country but just thought that there might be some national network ;-)
I too assumed that it would be someone's home network but the same signal, according to the ID, was picked up over a distance of 10 km or so! Perhaps there is something else radiating a strong signal on 2.4GHz. I can sit in the waiting room of my dentist and access someone's unencrypted network on my pocket PC :)) BTW Do you have a name???
