Wifi interlaces cookies
in [Wireless Internet]

From: vjp2.at on 9 Jun 2008 22:36 I think it is an issue of two machines having the same IP either by mistake or because the router is too cheap. But I have found myself using my laptop on some networks and getting, for example, a different language in Google, being redirected to the ISP's failed search page, and so on. The thing that bugs me is I though firewalls were supposed to deal with this. I was starting to get comfy having all my passwords and accounts in cookies but now they may end up in someone else's cookies jar??? Or am I overreacting? - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.
