If you've got wireless, just check it hasn't connected itself to an unsecured network next door. That's illegal... ;)
-
aye check you are on there legitmately before your neighbour phones the rozzers!
-
whats the wireless connection called
ie when your pc is connected to the net, what does it say in your system tray that your network id is (hover your mouse over the wireless icon)
if its not something you recognise then that says it all..
dont know the laws in bulgaria but i doubt your neighbour would take kindly
next you are going to tell me you live in the sticks and no neighbours for miles!

Two other options
1 a previous connection is set up on th dsl line and the router has auto detected it.
2 You have connected to someone elses wireless, now some people think "hey free internet" but you could well be being snooped on as they may grab all your info so be very careful what you do with any wirelss point you connect too. (I keep meaning to try a spoof wireless point one day but havnt got round to it)
For toys see http://sectools.org/ (http://sectools.org/) and http://www.tamos.com/products/netresident/ (http://www.tamos.com/products/netresident/) allways fun to snoop on networks (ps ITs my job and im allowed to!)

The most fun you can have is with bluetooth printers ;) No security. There's one near our local, so we send pics of beer, people being silly etc etc to it ;-)
