I am not even sure the neighbors have internet. Thay probably have cable though, hmmm :) Whatever it is, it's pretty slow and erratic. I'd estimate the speed I was getting in there at 14.4 or less. I was actually wondering if I might not be riding an alarm system or something. The card driver also said I was not connected to the internet, though evidently I was, since I was able to make the post above.
What's the range of the average cable router? The experience did inspire me to check here for a hot spot and sure enough there is one, though this is not one of the restaurants that advertises wireless access. There are three networks active here though one of them is fading in and out. This is kinda fun :) Dana On Mon, 22 Nov 2004 03:03:52 -0400, dana tierney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I uh, seem to have a wi-fi hot spot in my bedroom... > > I had the laptop on the bed doing some writing and noticed that gee, I am on > the internet. > > Yes, I realize there are a lot of puns that could be made about this, and my > rant elsewhere about "sweetie" to the contrary, I'll understand if y'all find > them irresistable. > > But once we are done with that, seriously, anyone have any ideas why this > might be?
