Shared internet troubles.

Well on a ebil note...since he is using your router, and you ofcourse have access then you can also access HIS pc
just slip a few things in that wont really hurt his pc but will definatly get his attention. fairly easy to do. My neighbor "use" to get on other ppls wireless networks in the neighborhood. one day i watched him attempt to get on mine.
At the time i didnt have anything more than just standard WEP encryption on my router. Since the average user at home ( in a house atleast) isn't going to be targeted for the most part.
Anywho i saw him bust past the wep and then start sucking on my bandwidth so i added a few lil gems to his c drive. One of them was a popup that said he had just D/Led a virus and that all files were now being deleted on his C: drive. it would then display all his files being deleted. they werent really but it was fun knowing he was totally FREAKING out for a lil while lol


I forget the name of the lil program that did it. i dont have it anymore maybe someone on here can remember the name of it. Im sure im not the onlyone here that knows of it. Its damed funny doing to ppl at the office and hearing them try to do the ctrl/alt/del thing over and over

Eagle is right,
however i would like to clarify one thing. If you only allow YOUR mac address AND set the router to only allow 1 pc access online AND change the pswrd to the router then unless he really has some hacking skills then he is effectively stopped. you can workaround that which wont let you have ANY access.
If he does have skills then let us know, between us all and maybe the great skuzzinator we can make his life a sad miserable porn exempt existence to say the least :cool

Actually, that is a better idea than mine.

WPA key and only allow the roomates mac addy. that you want on would be pretty effective way to stop 'em, or at least slow 'em down.

15.5 or 14.8, I assume you talking about speed, that has nothing to do with quality of connection or loss of packets. That just speed..maybe  1 sec 15.5 and other second ZERO. You could be geting 20bit and you're still losing packets and lagging.

Wireless for gaming = garbage.
You can get by with wireless, but its far from a good solid connection.

Wirless is build for convenience, not perfomance or gaming..

Tell the guy that you found your connection to be too slow so you did some checking and found a lot traffic coming/going to his computer. Tell him you captured the data and found it was file sharing going both ways. Uploads can kill a dsl connection btw. If you think he might want proof get wire shark and do some capturing. You may need a wireless card in your box if your gateway won't mirror that data to your port.
