     Not to mention the fact that I had Ethernet cable installed, and so
now I don't need the wireless feature here at my apartment. I had posted

appreciate all the advice, but it's all kind of mute now. I will ad that
when I had the wireless feature enable, and had the encryption turned
off( I didn't leave it off all the time), it was nice of that other
individual to make their machine available as a free backup service.
