The Dutch forum which is helping me is a member of UNITE. They give trainings. Might be interesting for you?

A bit too long in the tooth now for learning new tricks, but thanks anyway.

UNITE in the UK is the name of a large lefty Union and is one of the main contributors to the Labour Party who are Her Majesty's official opposition to the gov. being the second largest political party in the UK.

Lady:
Boggin, a small question on the side, if you please.

I use a LAN cable for my laptop but it's a bit of a hassle and too short for every room. So I decided to install Wifi. But I googled a bit and saw that you can simply download software to hack your neighbour's Wifi. I assume you use Wifi. How secure is it? I plan to have my own username and password.

Boggin:
I haven't heard of that program but WPA2 PSK AES is pretty robust.

I've recently came across WiFi Guard which seems to scan for anyone trying it on, but as an alternative to WiFi you could use Home Plugs which route the signal through the mains electricity and then you can Ethernet connect to each Home Plug wherever you have them plugged in.

I don't really have any other users near me, but inSSIDer3 will show you where the strongest users are, but any 20 or more, greater that your RSSI won't pose a threat.

Thank you, that's very informative. But I have to return to the slowness issue........... Just returned to my pc, it has been on for 5.5 hours now and slowness has returned. I've asked the Dutch forum if they have any more ideas. Have you? :sad:
