09-28-2001

ok i been scoping out this place for a while, and i get practically a FULL signal, but nothing comes up, i dont get "conneted" on the taskbar, (win2k pro)

do they just not have the DHCP server set up to give me an ip? its NOT wep encrypted....

any ideas? / other help?

If you DO connect to their network and you're not authorized to do so, they're gonna bust your ass.

Otherwise, use a sniffer and or assign your self an ip. If it doesn't have wep, then they're probably using default ranges. Like 192.168.0.X. It's worth a try.

go to command prompt ipconfig /renew sometimes there's a glitch that makes the manual request necesary
