Hello Jon, JB> (about how XP queries APs w/ SSIDs (stored on the client) which are suppose JB> to be hidden) ... making it defeat the whole purpose, why even have it as an JB> option on an AP then?
10 minutes of passive packet sniffing will give u the same info... JB> It seems that despite almost ANY type of standardization that MS would have JB> their completely own agenda w/ any type of authentication. What else is new? Billg just wants free net axs when he goes off to conferences :) JB> Id personally wouldnt find this disturbing if VPN/IPSec is already installed JB> but makes me wonder what else MS does which u don't know about ... and this JB> port 137 issue drives me nuts as well. Don't forget to block port 135 on the router to stop the annoying popup messages spammers are using now to further waste internet resources for their own benefit... Yes, if you want real security use a well proven, working and effective security methods such as VPNs, SSL, and SSH etc... -- Best regards, evilbunny mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] EM: Evacuate Memory http://www.cacert.org - Free Security Certificates http://www.nodedb.com - Think globally, network locally http://www.sydneywireless.com - Telecommunications Freedom
