One word.....PARANOIA! The people with the "talent" (read that know how) aren't going to waste their time with individuals, they're going after the big fish! I've often told people, if you can think of it, it can be done!!!! Who needs to intercept wireless when it's not that difficult to attack thru the Internet! Right on, Ken.

As you say, they haven't secured wired networks yet. Do you refuse to use them too? And Windows isn't secure either, nor any other OS. So, what do you use? An abacus? Security is about managing risks. You can use robust technologies, like 802.1x or IPSec to secure the traffic you're sending. Currently it's computationally infeasible to break that in any meaningful amount of time.

If its in the air, it can be obtained. They havent been able to fully secure WIRED communications, what makes anyone think that wireless will ever be secure? US Government offices refuse to use wireless, that should tell you all something. Wired or bust.

We are greating VLAN 127. It is the default vlan and will get to the internet only. If you don't have a MAC on the ACL you get a 127 dhcp address and pumped to the internet only. It isn't fully functional yet but it is coming. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Ens <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: NT System Admin Issues <mailto:ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 10:06 AM Subject: Re: WiFi setup And use MAC address filtering...

I am pretty good on everything with the exception that the new datacenter will have to have WiFi built in I am looking at 802.11g for now but I thought n was coming out.
