It's a little Window'ish but the meat is good.

I'm just a beginner at WiFi, and my laptop doesn't have any sensitive information beyond my ISP and mail passwords. My wife's, on the other hand, does have some letters to and on behalf of clients that she must keep private, though she is careful what she writes since her archives may be subpoenaed in a divorce or child custody case, etc. At some point we will set up a WiFi network here in this building, so I want to learn how to keep it private, though I don't expect anyone to want to try very hard to penetrate it. I did leave my dial-up connection on all afternoon one day and some spammer managed to bounce a lot of messages through my machine, as I discovered from both many delivery failures and a nasty message from my ISP. So I have Zone Alarm on all our machines. It reports over 5,000 attempted intrusions at this machine in the last month, with 284 high-rated. So if I get DSL set up out here, I can expect a certain amount of garbage. Choppy At 08:57 PM 5/27/05 -0500, Will Hill wrote: >What do you want to protect?
