Re: Two dumb networking questions
I didn't know that the SSID is sent in packets.
I have a neighbour that used wi-fi and when I turned on my lappy (my internet and wirless router was off) it came up I have limited access.
WTF I thought so I used Configfree to see what wi-fis where out there. It showed me a router. so I blocked his MAC address on my router, and change the cgannel. I also told him about what happened, he thanked me and changed his setting, I know no longer get his wifi, it has also stopped my connection dropping.
