Is this really such a problem? In ad-hoc, bridged mode, as long as the SBR is connected via wire solely to a SC server with it's own security, is this really such a big hole? (This is the reason I'm so interested in getting my SBR to work with a crossover cable!) Mind you, I'm not particularly security conscious, so there may be an implication that I'm missing here. Though I've never cracked a WEP key myself, I understand that it is fairly trivial to do so. And, as a result, I suppose that some clever, nefarious war-driver could potentially force me to listen to jazz before 5pm. The way around that, I suppose, would be to somehow be able to configure SC so that it takes it's marching orders only from the SBC. (...and then be prepared to blithely ignore concerns about spoofed IPs and MACs.) I think Dean's advice is best: don't bridge to a larger wried network in ad-hoc mode. Get an AP and use WPA. But, for a stand-alone, ad-hoc setup, how big is this risk, really? -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43581 _______________________________________________ jive mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/jive
