[dba-Tech] For Rocky - Wireless Networking

Rocky,
That's why setting up the security is so important, if you weren't such
a nice guy you could try to use Wu's internet connection.

Bobby:

The IP address is OK.

HOWEVER, a white pages search reveals that my neighbor across the street
is
named Wu.  Think I'll go talk to him.  I'll bet they put in a wireless
network last week.

If that's the case what to do?  His signal is obviously interfering with
mine.  I've changed channels twice.

Regards,

Rocky
