Just be carefull if you are going to do this, someone was recently 
prosicuted in the UK for unauthorised access to someone's wireless 
network. Mind the person in question, was sitting outside the house of 
the person who's network he was accessing for several hours at a stretch.

Remember just because you can access it doen't make it right (or leagal) 
to do so.

I have to admit I tend to turn off my wireless access point when I'm not 
actually using it....even though it's secured, I think it doen't harm me 
to be carefull.....

Cheers,

Phill.
