Lee, or anyone that might know. First Lee I want to thank you for a wonderful presentation, I took two pages of notes and it continues to amaze me how much you know.
I had ask you a question about 48 bit encryption vs 128 bit and I understood your answer but I have a problem that I should explain in more detail and see if you can help me to understand. In setting up an Airport Extreme hub the security choices are: WPA personal WPA Enterprise 40 bit WEP 128 bit WEP I have been using the 40 bit WEP (I have no idea why, I think it was configured that way when I walked through the first install with the help from MacTown). I don't understand any of the lingo here, but when I got home I changed the security to the 128 bit WEP then I had a problem on the network. (The insight modem goes into the Airport router, from the router I go to a Linksys switch that feeds the six computers). I use the database 4d for my work, I have a Server that I can then link the many clients. Once I changed to the 128 bit WEP the tcp/ip would not link at all, I could no longer get the clients to see the server. I had to change back to the 40 bit WEP. Did I fail to jump through some hoop to make this work. Is this security anything like what you were talking about last night, or is the 40 bit WEP secure enough with the password, or is this just a problem with 4d, but I don't see how as the problem seemed to be with the tcp area. Thanks for your help, we all learned a lot from you last night, and this may help some others as well. John Robinson | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be March 23.
