This guy's been latching onto my router, and I've never really cared, because he was a light user. Now, he's bringing my connection to its knees, and I'm not sure what he's doing. I boot him, and he reconnects.

Ahh, but he has his printer shared. Moron.

What do I print 500 times on his printer? Ideas?
 
"This is your order confirmation for your new 50" Sony bigs screen with a total price of $3000.00"

See what that gets.

Don't print 500 times. Just print 1 page asking him to get off your router....and then perhaps enable encryption to avoid all of this in the first place?

Nope. I was nice enough to let him mooch, now he's just being dumb.

Problem solved. Printed tubgirl enough times to kill a normal person, and then blocked his MAC Address. If he spoofs his MAC address, its on.
 
Yeah, that's no good. If you're kind enough to let people leech your internet, they need to be polite about it.

This is why I keep my router encrypted - anyone around here who'd be trying to steal my internet all fall under the category of "people I don't like."

Sounds like you handled the situation well, Nick. :yes:
 
Mr. Teller- I suspect we are really better off not knowing....

It is. Don't steal all of my bandwidth, and you'll never find out :D

Eeek, I can't believe Elizabeth actually posted it (I didn't click because I don't want to, so I assume that's actually it).

Correct. Unless you want to burn your eyeballs. Goatse is another one. :nono:

Nick, you could send a letter that starts like:

Request for urgent business relationship.

Dear Friend,

I am Esq. John David Oohjlong and my family have over $50 million in US dollars in a Swiss Bank Account that has been sent there to protect it from the war lords.....
.....
Please print 500 copies of this letter and send it to your business associates, friends, and neighbors and ask them to guarantee the sum by sending their bank account numbers to you. Please do not advise the authorities as it will prevent you from receiving your $500,000 part of the sum.

Urban dictionary is just that - a dictionary.

Nick, how can you say ICK I'm not looking when you just sent it to be printed? :confused:
 
OMG - tubgirl? Just the description makes me ill. It's a BIG, SCARY world out there!!

You should have ask him to pay 1/2. :rofl:
 
I would never allow someone else to access the web through my router. If they download illegal porn and it's traced to you, guess who gets nailed by the cops?

Such HAS happen by those who leech outside of homes with an unsecured router.

Harmless latching on by a nice neighbor? Tell him to stop or lock him out.

Annoying neighbor:

In big print:
GO AWAY YOU'RE BOTHERING ME
Inverted colors of course. White letters on black. That should run the ink cartridges out pretty quick.
Then lock your router down.
 
Just hope the neighbor hasn't done anything illegal that comes back to your IP address.

Your on the mark message is kinda lost in the noise. But I hope Nick has taken it and actually secured his connection.

While satisfying, I'm sure, this precludes the possibility of having *a lot* of fun at your neighbor's expense.
 
I am reminded of the dental transmitter implanted in Kent's head in the movie "Real Genius"...

You know his name? Let's call him "Kent". Print:

"Kent, this is Jesus!! Stop stealing your neighbors bandwidth. Oh, and Kent... stop playing with yourself."
 
"Follow the white rabbit..."

...and then sneak a white rabbit into his apartment when he's out. ;)

That sounds like a good way to end up in jail yourself. Computers can be traced pretty easily. Best to do things that are harmless pranks that get the point across. :)

Furthermore, if Nick really didn't want people leeching, he'd just secure the wireless network. It seems that he more wants to be generous so long as people don't abuse it. The issue is not that he's leeching so much as he's not being courteous about it.
 
Neighbors, ya gotta love em. Mine put in a new Jacuzzi about a year ago. Last month I came home and my garden hose was leading straight to it. I had been wondering why my bill was so high. This is a young guy with a wife and kids and a darn good job. I haven't decided what I want to do other than bringing my hose in and keeping it in my garage.

Take pictures of the hose, show pre and post water bills, and present him with a bill for the increase and a cease and desist letter threatening criminal legal action if he continues stealing water?

Brilliant. The cops who are already monitoring all traffic to the sites will have Nick's IP address.
 
Tell him you've used that hose to drain the toilet and other sources of
brown water (and I mean brown...)
 
I like Greebo's idea. That's not just stealing your utilities and costing you money, but trespassing. You could get quite a bit from him. I'd make him pay the increased water bill.
 
How can you tell your neighbor is using your router? My router is password protected so I assume it's safe. When I fire up my laptop it sometimes connects to my neighbor's router which is NOT password protected. Unless I watch during the bootup I can't tell the difference once connected. I generally leave my wireless router on at all times on the assumption that the passwore protects it. Am I at risk?

Yes you are at risk, but your risk is minimal if you have a robust password.

My router SSID is a short version of my snailmail address. I was hoping that someone might contact me and we could agree to share the costs of my internet connection. 3 years later - negative contact. My computer can see about 30 other routers (depending on time of day) and about 90% are password protected.
