Yes, I remember when I installed the router a couple of years ago I read that WEP could be cracked in about a day of monitoring on a reasonably busy network; I thought then that I wasn't likely to use it that heavily. I guess that's changed since then (in more ways than one)!
I'm assuming that no-one in our area (suburban Oxford) is that interested in snooping on our network, and if they want to use it they'd have to spoof the MAC address of one of our components. Well, the SB3 has been working fine all day, so it looks as though simply repositioning the router was all that was needed (though for all I know some of the other things I tried might've helped as well). Thanks again for your suggestions and pointers. I'm off to look for WPA-friendly cards for my iPaq... -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31330 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
