QUOTE LANs on Road Runner The standard Road Runner Residential Service is designed for single-computer configurations. However, you are able to connect multiple computers to a single cable modem with the use of a hub. Such local area network (LAN) configurations are your responsibility to install and support. Note: LAN configurations and hubs could decrease the performance of your Road Runner service, especially if multiple computers/users are using the service simultaneously. END QUOTE I would like to see the letter. Moreover, I would suggest that moreover their acceptable use policy does not prohibit the use of a wireless lan. http://www.help.rr.com/getpage.asp?/faqs/e_rr_aup.html?topic=Billing+and +Services John M Stec Attorney at Law [EMAIL PROTECTED] +++++++ORIGINAL MESSAGE ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From: "rick tait" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: NYC Time Warner Cable sending nasty letters to subscribers who use 802.11 and offer "free" access Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2002 14:22:31 -0400 Declan, I've not seen anything on Politech regarding this specific issue before, but my roommate just called me and let me know that Time Warner Cable of NYC has just sent me a snotty letter basically telling me to shut off my public access point immediately - PERIOD - as its not allowed according to the contract I signed to get their cable service. I don't have the letter in front of me, but if you're interested, I can get it to you this evening. I plan on calling/writing to TWCNYC and asking them if they consider an access-protected 802.11 network is still an infringement of their contract, meaning if I only allow MYSELF access, and no-one else. Is the fact that its just "there" (admittedly unusable by anyone without the access key) an exception to the contract? Now I have to shield my apartment in lead because I can't "advertise" my own private 802.11 network because the backend of the network is TWCNYC's? I don't like where this is going.
