Cool for you, but maybe not so cool for them if someone "borrows"
their network without their knowledge or consent. Still, what a fun
experience! Seems like every time I go somewhere and scan for their
network, it's either invisible or has a WEP code that I have to get,
and which is sometimes the wrong kind for the BN. Still, it's a lot
better than what we had before.

Apparently not! It just worked.

That's cool, Jim. Didn't she have a WEP key? Or perhaps she gave
it to you to input?

Hello list,
I went to a friend's house last night for a religious
gathering. My friend wanted to see my new M-power and maybe try
it on her network. She has a wireless router on her cable
system. When I had a chance, I plugged in my Sandisk Wy Fi card
and scanned for her network! It was found immediately and I was
able to go on a website to look up information or to stream
audio. I even went to the NLS site. When I wasn't reading
scripture, I put in the card and downloaded my EMAIL. The only
thing I couldn't do from her house was send my EMAIL but I could
do everything else. I was really surprised to see how well my
M-power worked on her cable isp and I think she has a linksys
wireless router. She was really surprised when my BN announced
her network name.
Once I came home, I was able to send my EMAIL, no
problem. Perhaps there might have been some authentication which
had to be on or I needed some kind of password to enable me to
send EMAIL but then I doubt I'll be using her network all that
much! I was surprised to be able to accomplish all I accomplished
on her network.
