    If I let my neighbours use my broadband until theirs gets sorted, can they access it if I change the password again? Also will whatever they view be under my name?
    Cheers for any help.

    If you change the password they won't be able to access it again.
    Don't know about your other question but I wouldn't worry unless they were accessing child paraphernalia or the likes.

    Unless they are very familiar with hacking techniques (if they were they wouldn’t of even needed your password in the first place) changing your password is perfect.

    YES everything they do will come back to your IP address. If they do anything illegal it’s your problem too...

    If they wanted they could watch everything you do online. If they do anything illegal it will be your responsibility. Anything that goes through your connection is treated as what you did. If their activity was flagged and being tracked it would be your name that the Gardai would be seeing. You would also breaking your contract and risking heavy fines.
    It's likely none of that will happen though.

    I don't think there is any law against looking at paraphernalia (child or otherwise!) ;)

    You'll be fine, just make sure they don't buy pacifiers, rattles and other child paraphernalia online.

    Hehe yea.



    We all know what I'm talkin about.


    Posting the appropriate word might have flagged somebody to watch my internet connection.;) and accuse me of something when it wasn't me it was the neighbours....

    cracking wpa2 - psk passwords is very very difficult to do and requires special equipment.

    cracking wep takes about 15 mins with a packet sniffer
