This certainly is a problem if you don't set up a secure network. My
collegue frequently uses his next door neighbour's connection to access the
internet. This article is highly recommendable

Setting up a wep key is so simple, people should know better than leavin
unsecured networks. What I'm concerned with however is weather nor not a
64bit key is sufficient to keep out local air snorters.
its been what 2 years now since wep has been declared *unsecure* if someone
is listening to enough traffic they can work out your key.
