I just came across an old windows 2000 laptop that only supported WEP on the Linksys card. But WPA was used on the WLAN. Time to buy a new card! Anyway, WEP is the older, less secure, easy to crack, encryption system. It's obsolete now that WPA is widely available. WEP is considered little more than an envelope around your network. It's easy to tear through, but someone would have to intentionally do so. WPA and WPA2 is newer and more secure. For more about WPA, here's a good summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access -Mike From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of rashmi kumar Sent: Friday, December 19, 2008 8:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [SOCALWUG] wep and wpa what is wep and wpa. please explain
