Maybe you should get your facts straight instead of trying childish redirection in this thread. Seeing as I've been dealing with your likes from BBS days I don't think it's going to pose much of a challenge to show that you are the one who is being foolish. My flame retardant undergarments are 20 years old, how old are yours?
Your very first post in this thread included this gem; Snarly Wrote: > WEP is -trivial- to compromise and has been so for years. A cow-orker > had a similar problem: my question is simple:...

I then said that in the *INTERIM* an option would be to turn security off or ditch the legacy devices. However, I have made it clear in multiple posts in this thread that I consider this a *SECONDARY* option, as the *FIRST* option should be for Logitech to fix whatever incompatibility there might be in the device. There's no need for people to junk perfectly useable 1st generation devices (like the original Squeezebox) just because WEP is "easily hacked". It still has to be "hacked" and that's still more effort than most people will go to. In other words, WEP still tends to keep random idiots out of your network, even if it is a protocol that can be circumvented. The OP also pointed out that he spent over 1.5 hours on the phone with Logitech trying to resolve the problem unsuccessfully. You really think that in all that time they did not verify that the key he was typing in was a valid one? He has an SB 1 that uses WEP I'm pretty sure he understands that he can't use a PASSPHRASE and must use a WEP KEY. As I said, the real thing that needs to happen is that he needs to provide some more information about the model router he has so that we can determine if the problem can be recreated, and then a bug out can be opened to try to get the problem addressed. -- jmpage2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72177 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
