Two sets of answers for two circumstances. (see your modified message below for what (c) and (d) are answering)
1. Your neighbor is broadcasting his SSID: (a) Yes (b) Yes (c) Probably not. If there is only one wireless network, then the one you see is his. If there's more than one, his SSID should be the strongest signal when you're in his house. (d) Yes 2. Your neighbor is not broadcasting his SSID: (a) No (b) No (c) Yes (d) Yes -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pete Holsberg Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2005 6:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: WiFi Hotspots Forgive me for backtracking, but I spoke with an "expert" last night and now I'm more confused than ever. Suppose I have a wireless notebook with WEP that talks to my LAN with WEP Now, I want to take the notebook to a neighbor's so I can transfer some files. Will I "see" his network when I boot up (a) if he has no security enabled? (b) if he has his own WEP setup? For (b) will I (c) need to know his SSID and (d) password (/key/, /key phrase/, whatever it's called) to connect? Thanks. -- Pete Holsberg Columbus, NJ -- Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.
