| 427997 | 2006-02-07 23:34:00 | Yup (www.zonelabs.com bYIugXxpn0HYse1ToKAUVXb1M9zoAKgdhTzd2ZEI8G!-1697446985!-1062696903!7551!7552!NONE?dc=12bms&ctry=&lang=en) Looks like the 1st-4th support wireless networks. It is just a marketing ploy. Even wireless goes through TCP/IP so a normal firewall is just as good. Therefor all firewalls support wireless. |

I use NIS 2006, and I'm using USB WLANS atm . Good thing bout these, is they can also act as access points . Which saves me a bit of money . I took the ethernet off last night . It's fine . NIS found the WLAN no prob at all . Actually its not as slow, as I thought it would be, with wireless, surfing the net . And copying files across the network . Altho, I would get a firewall, which at least blocks outgoing data etc . And not use XP's default firewall . |

| 427999 | 2006-02-08 03:35:00 | how secure is MAC filtering? i've done next to nothing with wireless networks (except disable them due to dumb techs leaving them on with fileshare etc enabled). the only one i played with i set it to only use certain MAC addys. |

| 428000 | 2006-02-08 04:04:00 | However, you can spoof a MAC address, however, how people would know which address to spoof is what I'm unsure of at the moment. | Haze (3028) | ||
