to answer your question, I encourage you to provide us your home address, social security number, and to change the password to your home wireless network to 'public'.
after you have done the above, somone will tell you that it depends on the router, service provided, and technical saavy of the tech person for the coffee house, etc. If the service is intended to be free, there's probably no password. If it's intended to be paid for, I encourage you to go somewhere that has it for free. There are many sites on the web that provide listings of free wireless access in all areas - google is your friend. joey On Apr 5, 2005 2:26 PM, Richard Ballard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Speaking of Java, Beer, and Coffee... > > When one takes his computer to one of thos public places with a "hot > spot," is there a customary userid/password folks use to connect to > the network?
