Do you know where I can find suitably simple information for a home user? Do you know anything about BrickHouse? I am attempting to use it, but when it is active my home network can't communicate. There must be a way to keep it active against the potential internet and other machine intrusions, while allowing my local home network to communicate. Are you in MN? My wife used to teach Japanese at Cray. Some further questions for you or anyone else. My wireless router asks for a passphrase for WEP enabling, but my computers don't seem to have any way of requiring it, so I haven't actually set it up yet. How does that work? Will my computers ask for it before encryption can occur? How do I enable WEP encoding on those machines? Or is that something that is handled entirely at the router? Someone in this thread talked about limiting access to your network by specifying addresses that could access it. So would that mean, specifying the internet addresses on my machines? Specifying the addresses of remote machines? or both? Like the router is defaulted to an address and the computers are assigned then an address between 1 and 256 that is the same (the address for the router being abc.def.gh.1 and then the other two machines being abc.def.gh.y, where y is a number between 2 and 256). However that abc.def.gh.y seems to be what the default would be for every local network, so that limiting the addresses to those would seem to coincide with thousands if not millions of other machines, and for those trying to get into my network, they only need to guess between 1 and 256.
