In what way? Two things about this: 1) Why would having the WEP/SSID settings apply to ALL of the wireless interfaces be insecure? I think this is just a broken choice on MS's part. 2) Not necessarily: if that info were kept encrypted in some registry key or something, I could conceivably copy it to the corresponding place for my other wireless card, and even though I cannot see or change the WEP, I could "enable" that network on my other wireless card. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
