Powerline basics.

[slipd]

Hey guys,

If I get a powerline setup installed what's there stopping 'someone' from coming along and plugging another adaptor into the mains and using the network? Do these units have any kind of security, or do they all have to be identical within the network? Eg. Same model/manufacturer.

Just curious

I've heard a pretty clued up colleague say that he could 'view' his neighbours powerline network from his house, although I think he said that he couldn't access it. This was his neighbour from a couple of doors down too; I think he stopped using it after that
