Let me just say this, if someone uses your DSL and downloads child porn or
mp3s you will be held responsible.

Subject: [BAWUG] sharing broadband with neighbors - security concerns


Let me begin by saying that any information is appreciated.

I have a dsl line and am considering sharing it with my neighbors.  My
roommate is against the idea based on security concerns (we now run on a
trusted network with just the two of us).  I'm not looking for the answer to
"Is sharing wireless with others moral?", which I would guess is discussed
on this list.  My questions:

Is this dangerous? (to my computer, or security)  Do I open myself up to
security problems by sharing the connection that would not exist if I kept
the broadband to myself?

any info. is greatly appreciated.

Nathan
