gamehead200 Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 For all of those who would like to secure their wireless networks, I have just written a guide on how to do it without any problems.http://www.astromike.com/wireless.htmlEnjoy!
TomcaT Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 Good solid advice there!! I did a run to my brother in laws a few weeks back and had Netstumbler on my laptop sniffing the air, I picked up 39 networks of which 28 were totally unprotected!!Maybe you could add a bit about ipconfig/all showing the mac address of your device, I had to do that with my 802.11b card (OEM)
sven Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 hehe, i think Gamehead wrote this because of the amount of networks he found lol. you should come to the complex here, andrew found 3 of em lol

I forgot about it! Its actually easier to do that then look on the card...
tak Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Disabled SSID wasn't an issue with XP when I was at my uncle's house with my laptop.Maybe add links to Kismet and Netstumbler?I personally have WEP disabled on my network. Stupid first-generation Apple AirPort is too annoying to configure - only accessible from the iBook. Ugh.

Stupid first-generation Apple AirPort is too annoying to configure - only accessible from the iBook. Ugh.Were you using XP's Wireless Zero Configuration tool? Because after I enabled the broadcasting of the SSID, it started working again... And by the way, if wardrivers see your SSID with your network secured and MAC addresses filtered, it'll be funny to see them trying to get in! Cuz they won't be able to! Added.
