My WiFi connection at home has no WEP or WPA on it - but it is filtered by MAC address. Besides, it's inside the building and the building has 6ft thick granite walls, and we're about 20 meters away from the road. If anyone's going to be trying to get into my wireless network at home, I'd most likely see them in person and invite them in for a cuppa. :D Grant. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
