It sounds like you may have made an unauthorized connection to an unsecured wireless network. Many people with an internet connection add a wireless router to their setup so that they can access the internet from multiple devices around their home or office wirelessly. This creates a network -- and when you use a router manufactured by Linksys, the network is named LINKSYS. Ideally, when a person sets up a network like this, they'll set up security so that only people who they want to access their network and internet connection can do so. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't set up security. If you had a connection that worked one day and didn't work the next, the network owner may have added security, the signal strength may not be as good (a lot of things can affect this), or you might be in a different location... Although accessing the internet in this way is free, it is also, in many areas, illegal.
