get on touch with them, I doubt they read this group.

Your neighbour wouldn't be connecting unless you were stupid enough not to
set your security correctly. Did you give them the WPA-PSK key? If so,
just change it and use your MAC access list then change your SSID and hide
it.

Not bothered looking as your friend should have advised you to set your
router correctly instead of messing about with software you (and him) don't
understand and don't even need. God knows how you would attempt to prove it
was a neighbour connecting to your system! Think about it a bit more. The
police would laugh at you as you can't even use a computer or router, the
neighbour would tell you to go away.

You contact them.

Yes, when the door doesn't open I can say the lock works.

Yes, when the door is locked and checked.

The only way a neighbour would have that is if they were given one by the
occupier and told to use it.

You do if you use WPA-PSK and don't give people the key, no one else will be
connecting and using it. Even better if you use a decent firewall.

You obviously lie aswell! That statement is rubbish and you can't even back
it up.
With proper security you would not be able to monitor their connections and
certainly couldn't see what was going on between their PC and web sites.
You might have told your neighbours that in order to be given access to
their PC and obtain confidential details from it, something I would hope
your neighbours now do something about.

Well again that is rubbish if people use different channels. Why would you
be feeling the need to get involved with data being passed between a router
and a PC. You only assume it is file sharing as the data is encrypted so
YOU CAN NOT SEE what that user is doing. You can lie all you like and make
as many false claims as you like to sound impressive, but most of us know
you're wrong.

That is a meaningless statement, just a collection of words with no real
meaning. It is very vague and empty, like your understanding of computers,
RF, wireless networks and computer security.
Get back to your "hacker" group!

Hi,


I think you will find this is a generic "error" message as such, not really
requiring reporting to the coders, but more research by yourself about your
hardware, and whether it has drivers that support monitor mode in Windows,
etc., etc.

You may find you need to use special drivers, or use the device under Linux,
or use different hardware. Probably not actually a software problem as such,
and probably not something really needing reporting to the software writers
(I expect the please report this to us bit is shown in all their software's
error messages). A bit more reading about this software, your hardware,
drivers, reference drivers, monitor mode, etc., will probably reveal this as
a very common problem requiring your attention in other areas. A bit (or
more accurately somewhere between quite a lot and a lot) of reading and
research on your part, around this subject, software, your hardware and its
drivers, etc., should provide you with a more meaningful understanding and
answer, etc.


Best wishes,
