Somebody hijacked my wireless!
We came home from church today, and I noticed my DSL modem was blinking furiously. Someone in the neighborhood had gotten on our wireless network and was downloading like crazy.
This was my own fault, really. A couple months I had computer problems and reinstalled Windows XP, but I never set up WEP again, figuring the network wouldn't reach that far anyway. Guess I was wrong!
Hopping mad, I got onto the router configuration page, enabled WEP and killed the intruder's connection. Then Doris had to listen to me grumble for about an hour as I speculated on which neighbor the offender was. Darn neighbors!

I guess the moral here is that "good WEP's make good neighbors". Ha!
