is it ok if my neighbor uses by internet connection over my router? would they see my passwords?

For them to latch on to your wireless connection they would need your password, assuming you have one set up. Without it they'd probably see the connection (unless you've set it to be hidden) but will not be able to do anything with it.

Plus sharing your net connection with anyone who doesn't live on your property is against the VM T&Cs I think

i took the password off so they could use it

bad idea imo, you dont know what they are downloading and it will be your ip address that will show, so you will take the rap!!

it is against the T&Cs but if your going to do it i would use a password still but limit the routers admin to your computer how to do that should be in the instructions

i share my connection with my brother in law when he is at his mums ( next door ) as she doest have the net

and i can access quite a few of my neighbours ( with their permision ) as i fix many of thier problems for them with out having to leave my house if i am feeling lazy and dont want free coffee lol

but be aware there could be some implications if the person who you allow to share uses it for neferious puposes

personaly i like a little bit of trust in tis world but it is something you need to be aware of
