tee hee

I'm da shit even when offline.

Hotzie, Post your MAC (MUST ALWAYS CAPITALIZE!!!) address so that I can hack you from here.

(lol, that is so idiotic I feel bad for even typing it)

BTW; that is the most secure way to avoid anybody from freeloading your Internet connection: Allow only specific MAC addresses (namely yours and those of the devices you own) This will not prevent people from sniffing the traffic though, it will prevent them from associating with your AP.
 
Agreed, restricting by MAC address is the only way to wi-fly. It's not really necessary on the wired portion of your home network for obvious reasons.

How long will it be before someone can use electrical induction to get packets into your wired network without making a phyisical connection? Maybe I should go patent the idea.

How do you set up such restrictions?
 
to find your mac address, go to start, then click on run, type in CMD

then at the command prompt type this

ipconfig /all

it will be the "physical address"


simply typing IPCONFIG will NOT give you the MAC address of the LAN card, only the IP, subnet, and default gateway

If you know the IP address on your local network of the router then just open your browser with that address.

For example, I might have my router on 10.4.3.2. I'd just type
http://10.4.3.2 into my browser. A common default would be 192.168.0.1

That should ask for a username and password. Typical defaults are 'admin' and 'password', which you should change forthwith. That should give you access to the built-in html interface to setup the router. If you have a manual then the rest should be plain-sailing.

If you're on a mac/apple or running Linux then the equivalent would be ifconfig in a command box or terminal window. Look for a six-entry, colon-seperated string of numbers under 'en0:' or, maybe, 'eth0'.

good clarification, probably wrong of me to assume she was on a windows PC

yeah thats how I secured my wireless, I thought maybe a mac-address security based wireless would require something different.

for mac address security you can keep your WEP or whatever wirless security you chose and do the mac filtering at the same time

you can filter is so that ONLY MAC's on your list can get access and you can filter it so that mac's you put in your list canNOT get access, either one

ALso WPA with TKIP algorithm is far superior to WEP also, becuase with WEP you can still hack into a network with wireless packet sniffers, the key is transmitted with WEP and even with mac filtering if i sniff your wirless packets i can spoof my MAC to be your MAC and still gain access

this is a bit of a reach for the novice user, but i say be as secure as possible!
 
hotzie, your router should be able to identify your MAC address for you and within its admin console you can allow or block it.

I use WPA encryption.

think MAC filtering is necessary?

no, its not necessary and not something i would really worry about bro, but it is another step in security. for everyone i ever help set up a wireless network(friends/family) i just use WPA.......mac filtering can be a bit of a headache helping people add new machines etc when im helping/supporting them on the phone.

WPA is PLENTY strong my friend
