Bridge by MAC not SSID?

modemfox · 12-25-2004

I use senao CB3 's for a lot of things. I use the bridge feature on the cb3 to connect to friends for gaming. lately there is a person who keeps using our SSID so that we connect to him instead. When we change ours he changes his about a day later. Anyway, I would like to know if someone knows how to make the CB3 connect to a MAC address instead of an SSID? I sent a message to senao but haven't gotten a response yet. I have looked around for information on this and have found nothing. Any help would be appreciated. (edit: I am using the CB3 in bridge mode.)

I am not sure if that can be done. However you should consider enableing ecryption and using MAC filtering. I bet that person is trying to leech off your connection if he keeps mirrioring your ssid. Either that or capture network traffic. Either way that person is doing somthing illegal. Like I said use encryption and change up your encryption keys every so often.

Get a directional antenna, find where they are and change your SSID to their home address. Might make them nervous enough to leave you alone.

(I also agree with RS, but it might be fun to screw with 'em a bit first!)

At this point I would consider that mandatory (but that's just me)! I am also a firm believer in the old saying "Don't get mad, get even".

I did't post that but I thought it. At that point I would be traversing the neighborhood with laptop and baseball bat/golf club/stick with dog doo looking for blood.

Nah, liquid cow sh*t in a plastic bag, inside a paper bag, with a SMALL bit of lighter fluid on it.. Crumple bag to look like a loose wad of paper.

Move all flammable stuff out of the way. Place on front step. Light. Ring doorbell. Run.

I still want to rig the junker microwave in the garage to work with the door off. Point the open end at the offending party's house/car and fry their radio. I'll never do it, just think it would be cool to try. Did find out that coconuts won't blow the door off when it explodes in one though.
