I find the attitude to wireless security quiet interesting particuarly the obssesion with encryption. Surely if you secure your wireless network by turning off SSID broadcasts and only allowing approved mac addresses access to your network,then not only is secure but more efficient as encryption/de-encription reduces available bandwith. -- repman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ repman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24049 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
