Hi Brendan, Thanks for the tip. The funny thing is, I actually know people that do this. I'm an inactive member in an e-mailing list about starting one of those NAN's (neighborhood area networks, like in San Francisco), in San Marino (where I live), and Pasadena, in southern California. We were just talking about war-driving along the Rose Parade a little while ago to find some wireless access points. You wouldn't believe it, but with like 70% of the businesses around here that use wireless networks, you can just park right outside and access the internet for free (although not exactly legally...).
Thanks again for the tip. -Brent > -----Original Message----- > From: Brendan Avery [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 5:23 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: I want to set up a wireless home network... > > > don't forget that wireless networks are subject to war > drivers; make sure > all your connected pc's (that is ALL pc's on your home > network, wireless and > not) are secured and patched before you pop a wireless lan in > your house. > seriously yo. > > w00t! > > ::brendan avery 2.0 > ::310.779.2211 > ::[EMAIL PROTECTED] > ::santa monica, california > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Brent Goldman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 17:13 > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: I want to set up a wireless home network... > > > Hi, > > So is the AirPort one of the best wireless routers?
