From: A.Lee on 19 Feb 2006 17:27 I rarely use iTunes, but I've ripped a CD today, and was just about to transfer it to my iPod, when I noticed a strange thing in the 'Source' column, there was a heading called "Lewis's Limewire Tunes", clicking on this gave a list of 30+ songs which I do not have on my HD, but they are available remotely, and disappear when the wi-fi is turned off. How did this come to be shown here? Is this a security risk? Thanks Alan. -- To reply by e-mail, change the ' + ' to 'plus'.

Sounds like a neighbour has an open WiFi network and is running library sharing on his computer. No risk to you, so long as your network is locked down with allowed MAC addresses. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 2.0 TSpark Lusso - Fiat Marea 20v HLX - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC #

Or, he's on Alan's network, and this is the first Alan knows of it. Daniele

Ahhh, yeah, that makes more sense actually. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 2.0 TSpark Lusso - Fiat Marea 20v HLX - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC #

Time to password protect the wi-fi network then I think.There have been times when the net has been real slow recently, I put it down to poor service, but if someone is piggybacking onto me, I'll have to do something about it. Is there any way of seeing if anyone is tapping in? Ta Alan. -- To reply by e-mail, change the ' + ' to 'plus'. |
