If your laptop had a wifi signal strength meter then wander around
until the signal is strongest....
This should broadly be right outside the relevant neighbours house....

Dave,
When you have connected to their system try and access their router.
I’m sure you’ll easily be able to figure out the IP address/
password as it’s likely they have been left as the defaults.
Once you get there you’ll usually see a user name or email address i
n the setup.
If it’s a email address you can contact them that way, if it’s a
name you’ll probably know them or be able to find them in the phone
book.

This is what I actually had in mind but.... I don't know who it is,
and I really don't want to walk the whole neighbourhood, asking
folks if they have an unsecured network set up, 'cause I don't want
let anybody know about this situation. Just want to keep it between
the unknown user and me.

Well, you can, but it probably involves crossing some lines you
don't want to cross.
You could connect to their network, then open your web browser and
go to http://www.showmemyip.com/ or a similar site. Then you could
google the IP address and you might get a lucky hit -- they might be
running a DNS server or something. But it's more than likely an
address from a DHCP or PPPoE pool, and won't tell you anything. At
this point you'd have to decide whether to give it up, or to sniff
their network traffic. I won't give any how-to advice on that. You
can probably identify your neighbor without too much trouble, but do
you really want to do that? And then do you want to explain how you
found out who they are?

Hi guys and gals:
I have a question that has nothing to do with jbase, but thought you
might want a change of pace for a while.
In my neighbourhood, there is somebody using a wireless router with
no protection so that I can hop on most of the time along with
anyone else. I would like to talk to this person and help them set
up some encryption.
Is there any way I can send them a private message. Their computer
does not show up on my network. I'm using Vista Home Premium
Dave.
