thanks, but I'm sorry I don't understand - if I use public wireless say at a
mall, how would a router on my end make the connection secure to the site I
visit (or email) if the wireless connection is only public without any
encryption available?

Many places set up security though it be lite to keep people from
outside not being able to log onto the network.
There are routers that allow two sides a public and a private side
for situations like this.

sure appreciate someone explaining this to me...
trying to figure a way to make a public wireless connection secure
for checking email, logging in to sensitive sites etc. seems like
the nature of public wireless is that all is transmitted in the
clear. would be great to be able to use wpa, but many hotels and
convenient wireless internet don't seem to offer encryption. is
there any way to protect wireless transmission on a public connection?
also seems that this issue should be same for pc or mac, no?
thanks for any help
