Help with stealing wireless

Alright, this topic may or may not be kosher...

I have been living in an appt complex for about 5 months now and I have been jumping on my neighbors wireless internet. All I have to do is open up my wireless connections and hit connect and boom, im in. Anyways, lately it has been unable to connect to their wireless. It does not tell me it is password protected, it just keeps saying unable to connect to wireless network A. Anyone know of anyway I can get past this. Does this mean they smarted up and put a firewall on? Anyways, would appreciate any help as the other networks I am now using are so slow and do not allow me to play any poker w/out major lag.

Seriously Internet costs less than $20 per month and then you don't have to deal with the hassle of having it maybe get cut off.

So here's my suggestion, in picture form.

If you're in an apt. perhaps a pringles can antenna could help, combining all the best aspects of thrift and free internet.

Find the list of wireless networks. There should be a WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) column that has YES, or NO. If it's yes then it's encrypted and you can't get on. If it's no then there is hope. IM me if you want, same SN.

this is how i have my router set up as well.

they are allowing only certain mac addresses on their wireless. no way around it.

Actually, "MAC Address Spoofing" is a way around it. Of course, you'd have to know a valid MAC Address to do this, and that might involve breaking-and-entering to find it, so go with mcatdog's suggestion.
