OK.....forgot about that, but I am on a rather secluded dead-end court in
the north end of a city above Toronto. Don't think that would apply much up
here. But a friend of mine in Latin America did "tune in" on a neighbour's
broadband at times. (apartment bldg)

Anyway, saw a wired (and wireless) one in the paper this AM for about $20
Cdn.....mail-in rebate of $50 or so....hate MIR's. Did you know they are
illegal in the UK?? Smart country!!

at the electronic web version of the "burning man" this year they tuned in
and accessed a wireless router from over 125 miles away, so you being in an
out of the way place is non-securer to use a star trek fusionism

Start wired. Seup File and Print Services. Share data and learn about
networking and
wireless security. Then when all has been setup and you understand how to
secure wireless
access points, you can move over to wireless technology.

Soytenly cable is more secure. But some people can't install the
cables easily. With wireless you have to understand that hackers can
pick up the signals up to four miles away with special antennas.

With Win XP I think there are ways to make wireless security much
stronger. I dunno much about it. But there's endless stuff you can
Google up about the weaknesses even using 128 encryption.

Be careful. With my LinkSys, Win ME has to be where the router is
since the PCI adapter doesn't work with 98/ME no matter what the
box and the salesman says :)
