Luckily, I had teh internal firewall enabled, and nothing shared, so everything was kool for me, but that \*\*\*\* was sooo funny Syko!
What is [bash.org](http://bash.org) anyway? It has something to do with irc I guess (and I know NOTHING about irc 😊 ) 😛

WEP is usually the first thing I take care of when setting up wireless, so that little punks like you won’t leech of my connection. 😉

my friend knows where like half of the cities wireless networks are, he’s always telling me where they are in the car, but it’s illegal so he never connects :P, I don’t have wep because I’m too lazy to get all the other computers to connect…
and it’s obvious when somebody uses your network, everybody can see it… oh wait, that’s not always true is it!! that’s a good idea _runs and hides with his idea_

There should be an option for that in the access point’s / router’s setup software and also in the manual 🙂

The wireless router should have a built-in WEP. Log on to it and play around with the settings. When you do set up WEP, be sure to write down the number (I usually opt for the 128-bit, or 32 digits) and set it up on every computer that’s gonna be using it. and like scriptflipper threatened, WEP is becoming fairly easy to break, so don’t make the key permanent.

I have no idea if this is helpful, if not, refer to your wireless router’s manual, it should say what to do.
