Interesting... yes... Be careful. If someone anonymously hops on your
network then they can do all sorts of things that could get you into
trouble when it's traced back to your Cox IP address. I have a friend
that knows of quite a few businesses that use wireless networks
and he says he can sit outside in his car on his laptop and simply use
DHCP to get everything he needs to be on their network. Even if you're
using encryption, it's not terribly difficult to get on the network.
