Re: Wireless question

What docrice See Profile said! Seriously, I have yet to see such a concise and complete description of how many times and different ways Windows leaks the Hostname/Machine name.

It's somewhat amazing, actually. What I really love is how many different services actually grab that string differently. It differs from router to router but is almost always used to provide some sort of client "hostname."

Just change it to something ambiguous and you should be set.
