Answer 1

It sounds like you were hooking up to an unsecured network. The guy that owned the network (and was paying the bill for the service) got tired of freeloaders (yup - you too) using his connection for free.

So he broke out his manual, setup his security and now you don't have a free connection.

So your choices are - no internet, find another clueless wireless user who does not secure his connection, or get your own.

If you get your own, I'll bet you will set up the security on YOUR system
