Up to the moment you ar aware that your laptop has connected you are not in a bad situation. The point you become aware of the connection and choose to exploit the situation by remaining connected, it is on you. I don't know how your laptop is set up, but I have to choose to conect to any wireless network I detect. It doesn't happen automatically. Being aware of an open signal is not the same as choosing to make use of that signal. RD -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
