I suspect you're talking about those "run the ethernet through your home power" dongles. I would think a fairly straightforward way to put at least some security on your network might be to feed the network adapter with a router which assigns only the number of IP addresses you need (instead of the default of a large dynamic range), assign the IP addresses to your computers manually, and require a secure password. I'm pretty sure most home routers allow you to do this. That way, even if someone can see that you have a network they are pretty much locked out (of course given the right tools, enough time, and someone with the right skills nothing is secure). Good luck in pinning liability on anyone. -- Bill Christensen <http://greenbuilder.com/contact/> Green Building Professionals Directory: <http://directory.greenbuilder.com> Sustainable Building Calendar: <http://Calendar.SustainableSources.com> Green Real Estate: <http://www.greenbuilder.com/realestate/> Straw Bale Registry: <http://sbregistry.greenbuilder.com/> Books/videos/software: <http://bookstore.greenbuilder.com/> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
