With all of this talk about the open wireless, I took the plunge
today. I had my wireless network setup with no password but it was
set to be invisible. I thought that would do it. Probably not a
good idea though. I have about 4 wireless networks that appear on my
Airport and I can access them all. They have no security set at
all. So, I set up WEP with 128 bit encryption and started using OS
10 Server 10.4.3. I have all internet coming into one port and going
out by another. Firewall is running and a bunch of other do-dad's.
I feel my network is now safe. The server is running on a G3 400
Blue and White (quite well, I might add). Oh, one more question (I
haven't had time to read up on this yet, can I get my mail delivered
to this same OS X server? and then distributed to the various Mac on
the home network? Just curious....the present system seems to work
fine.
