finally, I've learned something from EF chat, besides the obvious that bullit and nathan are anal jousters.

GSXR, if you don't put some kind of security on your wireless system, shit like this will happen. Somebody will come around with a directional antenna (a wired Pringles can) and tap into your network, without you knowing about it and:
a) hack into your computer
b) use your ISP connection
which will:
c) cost you money
Do NOT activate the WEP security, because that can be hacked easily too.
The best thing is to get a VPN service installed on your laptop.
128 bit encryption should do the job.

Yes, I know, I work in the security industry, so I have a couple "gadgets" to use. Also my entire street is pretty much comprised of geriatric patients for the most part. The closest hacker (my best guess anyway from the looks of the neighborhood) would probably be beyond the signal range.

Cool, as long as you have it covered.
I was at a security seminar a couple of weeks ago, and one of the presenters put up a screen shot of all the open wireless networks here in DC.
Very scary to think that some government agency or a non-profit would be unaware that their wireless network is wide open for all to see and use.

Well right now, only one of my machines is going to use the wireless, my other 3 with be hard wired to the hub. I'm not worried about intrusion into one of my machines, I have firewall software running on them and they're behind a NAT, the only concern for me (which isn't much of a concern considering the neighborhood I live in) is outside people trying to gain network access to surf the net. But like I said, since only one machine (behind my NAT) is using wireless, I'll just configure the router to allow that one IP through.
