No no no. Those recommendations should be dismissed, they are so yesterday's idea of security. For anyone who really wants to get in, working around MAC filtering and non-broadcast SID's is a piece of cake. Secure the router or access point with WPA2 and a strong PSK if you can't do 802.1x

I really hate this trite expression. It's filled with condecension and a my way is the only right way point of view. It fails to value the role of obscurity in security. If obscurity had no value, honeypots would be useless. If obscurity had no value, Sun-Tzu wouldn't have said if you are

OK, the new NS records are created. There are no check boxes next to the original NS records to check and then delete. I also am not finding any way to update the database - some kind of button to make that happen. Somewhere I'm missing something. On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 3:55 PM, Sean Rector

Thanks to everyone for your comments. I am using WPA2 and I do have my SSID broadcast turned off. This is a home network. On any given evening, I can see anywhere from 5 to 9 wifi signals of neighbors routers, and I figure that anyone looking to hack into a wifi won't waste their time looking

Is this laptop old (around 4 years)? If so, you are probably using Dell's wireless software. My suggestion is to uninstall it, and let Windows manage your wireless connection by right-clicking on My Network Places - right click on your wireless network connection - properties - wireless tab.
