Hi Michael..

It is possible for the MAC Address of the offending PC's WLAN Card to be recorded in the Wireless AP's Log file.
With the assumption that DHCP is enabled, then it is happily handing out IP addresses to all that request them!

Yep but even with a ip you can,t find where they are.

There isp would not give out there name or home without the court doing so.

they can record your MAC address and then if they suspect you of doing it they'll prob need to get a court order to check if its you or not

if they can do all that then their netowrk should be secured so you should be ok

if your worried look up mac spoofing
