:D Nice.

I read about someone with one called "ASIO Surveillance Van".

We haven't named ours anything creative yet.

We were thinking about FBI Surveillance Van, but wikileaks won out.

I just changed ours from 'Insecure Connection' to 'I love Judy'.

I like the van idea...might have to change it again.

Having read how Wi-Fi can be abused, I passworded it in the modem-router, but not yet in the three laptops we recently acquired. (Something I suppose I'll have to look into. Meh. Sometimes I hate technology.) Everything is connected via cat6 cabling through a 16-port gigabit switch that is in turn daisy chained on the modem. If you must get on the web while doing business in the toilet or laundry, you'll just have to use your smartphone.

Open a new tab and type in 192.168.1.1. That will open the router/modem/wifi thingy. Username is admin, password is admin and voilà! You're in!

I remember reading on failbook (or something similiar) a post from someone who had changed his wireless network name to 'I can hear you having sex', to which the neighbour then changed theirs to 'And it's good sex to'. Made me giggle.

Ours is called Altona, just because.

Mine apparently has a diff username/password..... :( Maybe I should go buy a new router....I don't know where the disc is for this one.You don't need to. The management system is built into the firmware and accessible via whatever browser you are using. Just type the router's address into the address bar, and take it from there. The default password is "admin" or "Admin" for most routers. If it's been changed after you bought it, and you can't remember it, hold the modem's reset button down for a few seconds, and configure it again from scratch.

To obtain your gadget's address, click on <Network places>, or the equivalent in whatever operating system you are using, click on the icon representing your modem/router, then <Properties>. Among other things, it'll give you the address. It'll look something like this: http://192.168.0.1/

my router's address is actually 10.0.0.138

but... once I figured that out, I found a spot to change it! Instead of it being Bigpond1607 :rolleyes:it is now surveillance van :cheer:

Not at all. According to a survey by Prince & Associates, a Connecticut-based wealth-research firm, the average "price" that men and women demand to marry for money these days is $1.5 million.

The survey polled 1,134 people nationwide with incomes ranging between $30,000 to $60,000 (squarely in the median range for nationwide incomes). The survey asked: "How willing are you to marry an average-looking person that you liked, if they had money?"

Fully two-thirds of women and half of the men said they were "very" or "extremely" willing to marry for money.

My desktop (via wireless) and my phone don't have an issue at all connecting.

Change the security settings on your laptop to the ones that your modem uses.

Fairly easily done.

Chaplain, this could be a lot easier if it were done through a skype or messenger voice conversation. If you use windows live messenger, you can even invite someone to operate your mouse (hehe) and see how they do it.

I may agree to 'operate your mouse', but only via web connection. :)

My friend, Neil, was robbing his neighbour's internet for over a year. It was easy to hack into Eircom routers with WEP as a key generator. You just put in the name of the router and it gave you the password. He put his computer in as invisible on the network but the guy still found out. He came home one day and the router was changed to NEIL THE CYBERTHIEF. He was freaked out for a couple of weeks wondering if anything further was going to come of it.
