8/10    Does anyone know how to force Win2k to use shared WEP authentication
        instead of open auth? WinXP has a control panel to enable this, but
        I can't seem to find the Win2k equiv.
        \_ Check the card settings (control panel->network connections->
           whatever card->properties->card configuration near the top.)  If
           that doesn't do it, I've seen manufacturer card tools take care
           of dealing with encryption options (Cisco, Linksys, Netgear and
           Lucent all have their own software that comes with the drivers.)
           Check the manufacturer page for downloads.  -John
        \_ WEP is only to protect the privacy of your connection, right?  Is
           there a way to allow only certain users to connect to your wireless
           access point?  If someone gets a hold of the WEP password, they can
           share that with anyone, and anyone can get access, right?  How can
           a wireless access point be configured to allow access to only
           people you want?
                \_ PPPoE or something like that.  You can also use the
                   network name in 'closed' mode (i.e. non-broadcasting),
                   although if you want serious security, you will run ipsec
                   over your wireless links.  -John
                \_ Some wireless APs will do MAC address or other filtering
                   but that's still not real security.

4/25    I have an Airport Express.  is there some way to let computer
        1 ping computer 2?  both computers are connected to wireless network
        successfully.  I can get to internet on both of them.  I just can't
        ping each other.  weird.  maybe they think that's a feature?
        \_ Sounds like your router is enforcing client isolation. If you can't
           change the setting on the router you're probably SOL.

11/11   I want a home nas so my laptops aren't always running out of space,
        what's a good buy?
        \_ I did a bunch of research and ended up with Dlink DNS-321. It
           is newer than DNS-323 with less problems. It doesn't have as
           much buffer as DNS-323, but if you're transfer files bigger
           than 32 megs, the sustained rate for both are equivalent. I

11/11   Dumb question. My apartment has a bunch of inter-computer file
        exchange going on. Should I get a switch instead of a router to
        minimize traffic? Does it really make a difference? Let's say
        two computers exchanging info with each other are on the switch
        and the switch is connected to the router. The router will never
        know about the transfer between the two computers right?

9/29    I'm looking for a new wireless router / firewall, preferably
        something that supports 802.11n. Any recommendations?
        \_ Which 802.11n?

6/6     Now that 3g wireless speeds are getting useable and phones are
        coming out that have built in wifi are there any phones that
        can be used as wireless wifi access point?  -aspo
        \_ Yes. My coworker does this with his Blackberry.
