help anyone cause i dont have a bloody clue

i dont wana start using it and then get a bloody big bill though the post

 

Wireless connections are free when there attached to a network, no charges.

But if its a wireless modem (like a mobile phone) then it will charge you.

Is it a home laptop or work laptop ?

Where are you using it ?

 

depends on where you're using it?
have you had to subscribe to a service or have you just managed to pick up a signal somewhere and are using that?

 

using it at home, got ntl broadband in the house

where is it getting the signal from then? the house network? how?

 

Have you got a wireless network at home ? You need a wireless access point for the wireless to work.

Maybe your neighbours have a wireless network and your using there

 

what about if it was on a phone?? xda2 for example. how much then??

 

dont have wirless as far as i know if i am using a neighbors by mistake can they find out or will it cost them any extra?

 

Sounds like you've got onto someone elses wireless network and was using there internet connection. They might of noticed but i doubt it.

 

just had a look at the ntl box, dont say its wireless are they normally? or am i probably using next doors?

 

... and with that you've stumbled upon the exciting pass time of "war driving".

Do a search for Netstumbler, download and install it on your wireless enabled lappy, then go for a drive around town with your lappy and see whose networks you can drop on to. Much fun.

 

PMSL

i expect you are using next doors...soooo funny

to get YOUR ntl working on wireless just go get a wireless access point for about 40-50 quid and job done you got wireless

but

remember to use mac address authenticationa and 128bit WEP security
