Unknown Connection

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

This means that someone has a wireless network established and are
broadcasting their SSID, personally I wouldn't piggyback on the connection
simply for any ramifications that may occur..ie them finding out that you're
stealing bandwidth.

To add to that, it states that it's a Security-Enabled network, meaning that
either WEP or WPA-PSK is enabled, both requiring you to know the key (though
WEP is easy enough to break) the connection should tell you whether it's WEP
or WPA-PSK.
