I don't think it is a problem with hidden SSID, although I admit that I'm not sure that I tried the combination of unhidden SSID and open connection. If I get a chance over the weekend, then I might try it, but I'm sort of losing interest now I have a working solution. I also understand that the security is all rather flimsy. My view is that the more things I put in the way (hidden SSID, WEP encryption, MAC filtering) just make it a little bit harder to get in unless you're determined. I don't think any of our neighbours (or their offspring) will be that determined. -- Mark.Bennett ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark.Bennett's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92817 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
