You should be aware that a mobile wireless enabled device actively seeks access points, and can attempt a connection. If your device connected to the internet at home - as you report- then you have security problems with your home network. No device can connect to the internet without knowing the WEP key for the LAN, you must be making the key available 'automatically' on your home network. My advice is to secure your LAN. Graeme,
