OK, My laptop picks up three of my neighbors wireless, but they are all blocked... Yes, I tried to get on them just to test the laptop....

Thanks for the information

The only wireless security I use on my Linksys router is to only allow specified MAC addresses, and I don't broadcast my SSID. To get in, someone would have to: 1) clone the MAC address of my laptop or the netcard in my desktop and 2) know the name of my network. Not likely. Plus, I have found that this makes the wireless portion of the network more reliable and quicker without all the security overhead.

If you're out in the boonies, this setup would be more than adequate.
