On that note: It is important to remember that wireless is inherently a broadcast medium. So everyone around you is always receiving *everything* you transmit. What matters is how you protect what you transmit. :) It's like a bunch of people standing in a room together. If you say, "Hey, Ben, your shoe is untied", most other people in the room aren't going to bend down to tie their shoes, too. But they'll still hear what you said to me. That is what things like "hidden" SSIDs and MAC address filtering do. If you say, "Hey, Ben, seven six two three nine four eight five one nine six", everyone again knows you said something to me, but they don't know *what* unless they know the code. That is encryption. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
