Wireless Network Compromised?

[cornopaez]

Today while I was at school I got an error message that said "This wireless network seems to have been compromised an will be deactivated for about a minute". I'm using 10.5.1 and I haven't seen anything like this before...

Any ideas on what this could be?

Probably a message from the network admin who was restarting the network.

you can actually send error messages that appear like OS X notifications as a network admin? Didn't think that was possible...

Back with novel networks on windows you could actually send messages to other computers on the network even if you weren't an admin. I had a blast screwing with some people in the library.

Sounds like a lot of fun ... I was just wondering if it had something to do with the recent wireless problems of the MB's and Leopard...

Thanks!

I have seen this error message, and I don't know where it came from...

It definitely can't be a message sent from an admin though, because I *AM* the admin!!!
