The problem that I am coming accross is that some of my customers take the wireless gear outta the box and plug it in and when they figure that work with factory defaults they leave it alone....then all of a sudden someone pulls up in the front yard and starts snooping around.
One thing you can do is WEP and depending on the vendor try some filtering by mac, ssid, or protocol... You will have do some serious lockdown measures when its a internal user as opposed to outside users....... But like the last email stated if things get bad use netstumbler but be careful from the last I heard it works with only some wireless cards... >From: "Patrick Donlon" >Reply-To: "Patrick Donlon" >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Rogue Wireless LANs [7:47287] >Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2002 11:48:48 -0400 > >I've just found a wireless LAN set up by someone in the building, I found >it >by chance when I was checking something with a colleague from another dept. >The WLAN has zero security which is not a surprise and lets the user into >the main LAN in the site with a DHCP address served up too!
