Re: securing a wireless network
Here is guidance from Barb Bowman, MS-MVP, about that issue...
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...ssecurity.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u..._05june13.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...ebruary10.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u..._03july28.mspx Use the strongest encryption your wireless access point and clients can use, ie. WPA is preferred over WEP. If you must use WEP use 128-bit WEP at a minimum... Personally I use WPA-PSK (AES) with a 63-character random ASCII key that I generated from this site... http://www.kurtm.net/wpa-pskgen/ I also recommend that you do *NOT* turn off the SSID broadcast... -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...
