Network Security Basics: Tightening Down Your Wireless LAN http://networking.earthweb.com/netsecur/article/0,,12084_1369391,00.html I thought this article provided a pretty good explanation and reason for securing one's wireless LAN. Especially this statement, "Who could possibly be interested in my data anyway? Hackers, maybe, but never underestimate the amount of mischief that a local bored teenager can create." A rather non-technical article aimed at the home user. The article covers more of what you should do and why. - Rick Tanner leaf(at)real-time.com --
