Re: Using your neighbors wireless service
BAGAGT1 hit it on the nail.
If you don't want others using your connection then all you have to do is to lock it down. There are many ways of doing it, WEP, WPA PSK, WPA EAS, Mac Filtering etc etc
I used my neighbors connection all the time when I didn't have my own hookup. I still use theirs because we have about 9-10 networks in my apt complex some of which have a much stronger signal than mine even when I sit 5 feet away from my own router. Sometimes I wonder why even have my own connection when I can't even connect to it half the time, wirelessly anyway.
