I've seen this behavior for months. It's real. The steps listed in the article (firewall, "Infrastructure Only", etc.) are sufficient to nullify this flaw. ~Jeff Has anyone tested this out? If so, what are you thinking about doing to prevent it? http://blogs.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2006/01/windows_feature.html I'm trying to see if I can get my test machine to do it--incidentally I have noticed two ad-hoc networks these last two days.
