You are educated enough about mac filtering and flashing your router, but you didn't setup any encryption at all when it takes 30 seconds to do so?

it wasnt my nerdyness ...it was my tiredness.. I was doing it at about 2am and I was having a hell of a time getting it to work.. I meant to enable it in the morning, but I completely forgot..

are there any lawyers on AT?

This is most people's excuse that they didn't DL it. "Oh I left my wireless open... someone else did it." I'm not accusing you of lying, but you and I probably both know what the truth is.

You're not accusing him of lying... but the very next phrase you ARE accusing him of lying. I guess that makes you a liar.

If not, what happens if you never received the papers?

My guess is his Internet get shut off for good.

I don't see the harm in checking B and then saying you do not consent to the other junk. Explain that you left your router open, but you've fixed it so it shouldn't happen again.

What paperwork? You didn't get any paperwork that you can recall receiving at this time.

 

[JRich]

It's ok. The file was corrupt anyway.

 

[msi1337]

no, I am back on... they turned it on 5 mins after I called them up

 

[Leros]

Leaving your router is the best thing you can do. See he could have downloaded copyrighted stuff and gotten away with it.

 

[aidanjm]

don't respond to that piece of paper. it would just provide ammunition against you, surely.

 

[Ramma2]

Oh snap! I forgot to turn WEP back on after getting my new configured... I'll have to remember to do that - right after I get a letter just like this.

Reasonable doubt ftw!

 

[mrrman]

looks like option A and B screw you...write back and ask about option C

 

[msi1337]

I am thinking option b...because I did not have the file..and no consent..because I honestly dont know what that entails

Body cavity search...

No matter if you're guilty or not- if you can show that there was a security issue with a 3rd party product, they won't have a case.

Our network provider gave us the same runaround a couple of times and it fell through due to this on both cases.

Just email the file back to them and all will be well.

"Um... sir, you said you called because you had just received a letter about..."

"What, called who?? Nothing. I don't recall any calls at this time. Good day sir!"

With WEP you're just giving a kid with "appz" 10 more minutes of trouble anyway :roll:.
