Default Re: ISP Address with wireless

[ QUOTE ]
I had this problem when I bought a new laptop. It was because I didn't remember the Wep Key. I had to reset my router, then it would pick up a new IP address. I am not a wiz at this, but now my router is set up with no password / wep key but it is working. I should get it set with a password.

so far the worst (no offense) advice has worked the best. removed the wep from the router, removed it from the laptop and now its working. wonderful.
the thing is, i definitely had the wep key correct. i did make some other minor changes though, so because i introduced too many variables, im not sure what the problem was. i will try to get the security back and see if it gets messed up again.
whats the downside of running with no security? my neighbors can use my wireless?
