Thanks for the link - interesting read. I am aware of the limitations (even more so now) of WEP and agree with your sentiments that WEP alone is insufficient. I've done pretty much everything I can think of without going the full IPsec route. Here's what I've done: - 128bit WEP - Access point in own DMZ (and all WiFi devices on different subnet) - MAC level access control (on MAC's on the list can use the AP) - Using a randomly generated SSID As this is my first foray into the wonderful world of wireless administration I am happy to hear any suggestions to improve security :) James -- Fortune cookies says: BOFH excuse #309: firewall needs cooling -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
