I recently got an Airport Base Station working at my home and can surf the web wirelessly but I am now a bit worried about the security of this network. After all, getting this set up was a lark in that I was merely doing it to see if I could. But now that I have it, I would like to keep it as secure as possible. First of all; how can I tell whether or not it is encrypted and secure Swcond; how do I encrypt it and secure it or maybe this should be first. Third; Is there anyway to tell whether an outsider is using the network. There are so many lights flashing and the Base Station is constantly flicking and lights moving i have no Idea what's going on. I guess is what I get for playing with fire. Thanks in advance for any and all assistance and/or help in this matter. -- Brad 55417-1734 "Pwr Mac G4 64 MB Radeon 7000 AGP Gtaphics OWC Mercury Extreme 1GHZ CPU Upgrade 1.12GB Ram 9GB Quantum Fireball/ OS 9.2.2 WDC 80GB/ OS X.3.9 Pioneer DVR 105 Pwr Mac G3 B&W 64MB Radeon 7000 PCI Graphics card 450MHZ CPU 1gb ram 120 gb Maxtor DiamondMaxPlus X.3.9/80gb Hitachi Deskstar Sata harddrive X.4/ 40gb Maxtor DiamondMax ATA hard drive/9.2.2 Seritek SATA Controller card/Pioneer DVR 105 OS X.3.9/ Lexmark X1185 all- in- one printer Powerbook 3400c 200MHZ, 144MB ram, 2gig harddrive, OS 9.1, modules; floppy, cd-rom, zip drive
