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.

Yup, I would say so .

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)
