security-what sort,how much?
Is WEP 64bit good enough generally for most people ? I doubt tthere are any
really good hackers around my area but i would like at least a decent level of security in case someone tries to get into my network and into my pc's...... Should i use IEEE authentication? Is a free thawte cert the type to use ?? Which one? I just got the free email cert. Is that the one? If someone does get into my network,what can they do?Steal files from my pc's or just use my connection ??? TIA tim |
