Re: Firewall

Any recommendations on an adapter to use my iBook in the car? I see that Linksys has one that will actually allow you to plug a 2 or 3-prong plug into it, while others (APC was one that I saw) just allows you to plug the ibook into the lighter. The APC one is $40 while the others were $80. TIA,

Re: security on wireless router

I guess the answer depends on where you live. If you are in a house that is relatively far from other houses which prevents people from snooping on your net from comfort of their homes you will be fine with WEP and if you want MAC address filtering (adding little more steps for the hacker).
