Are attacks on a wireless client card a real issue as of now? If your workstations are not setup as ad-hoc access points is this really a valid threat?
I am not discounting the possibility, it is just not something I have read about yet and I try to avoid FUD passed under the guise of security. -troy From: mck1012 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 6:53 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Disable Wirless if Ethernet has a connection No. I want the Wireless disabled when the Ethernet cable has a connection to prevent the user from being able to attach to wireless networks when connected to the corporate LAN and attacks on the wireless card. ----- Original Message ---- From: Oliver Marshall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: NT System Admin Issues <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 9:45:22 AM Subject: RE: Disable Wirless if Ethernet has a connection You can just change the order of the nics in the advanced network properties. Does that do what you need ? -----Original Message----- From: Krishna Reddy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>] Sent: 17 January 2008 14:29 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Disable Wirless if Ethernet has a connection Lenovo has a program called Access Connections where you can set up profiles to do this. However I don't know if you can use on non-Lenovo/IBM systems. It is available on their site as a download. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/migr-4zlnjb.html Krishna Reddy IT Manager Nucomm, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Terry Dickson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 9:20 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Disable Wirless if Ethernet has a connection That works wonderfully, however the Wireless is still open and if you do not have it properly secured someone can attach to it wirelessly and try to Hack in that way. I would like to see if there is a way to do this also for our wireless users. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Plahtinsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 7:52 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Disable Wirless if Ethernet has a connection I have never been able to find a GPO or app that will do this. However you can set the weight on your network adapters. Set a lower value on the Wired NIC and a higher value on the Wireless NIC that way the pc will always choose the Wired NIC if both have a connection. Network Connections --> LAN Connection --> TCPIP --> Advanced --> Uncheck Automatic Metric and put in an Interface Metric. Lower gets more weight.
