How to shield off wifi/wireless? Andrew Engels Rump 05-20-08

Hi

I have been searching hi and low for something which may solve my problem
of shielding wifi from the outside world!

We (pulz8 Communications) are testing wifi/wireless connections to be
used on trains (for instance to provide wifi or CCTV to the passengers)
but one of our neighbours is a script kiddie who loves to fill the ether
with disassociation frames causing a lot of extra problems for our
technicians.

Are there anyone out there who have experience in painting a room with
shielding paint? I have found reference to Spyguard and Force Field
Wireless (which apparently has gone out of business) and also an ACM
article and other pages on the internet which describes how to make a (no
it is not a) "Faraday cage" but because of the nature of our hardware we
would like to take the paint approach - unfortunately our test room has
windows!!! :-)

Any experience?

Civil lawsuit for willful and intentional malicious activity to disrupt
a business. May not get you anywhere, but might scare the pants off him.

Well I got a representative from the Danish authorities to come by today
but I do not have that high hopes because their "radiocar" has been by in
the past.
