I got the net on thursday. I left it on today while I went out. I came home and I was offline because the cable was unplugged according to my puter. I never touched it. So I changed over to wireless just for the hell of it (it would never work before) and for some strange reason i'm on the wireless net....

Does anyone know why my computer would be doing this?

Somebody nearby has a wireless network that's not password protected.

They don't have to be online.

Don't cancel because you don't know when they'll start using a password (and if they notice you're on, they will).

It's not weak.

It could be anything. Just re-connect.

Why don't you try calling your ISP?

If your internet is with KT, they have English-speaking phone operators.
