cconk01 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Here is the setup - I have 4 basic wireless AP's around the office, they are connected to a switch then to a server which is being utilized as my VPN server for secure connections. I have noticed that some of the workers using there laptops are logging into another network to bypass having to connect to the vpn server. With that said we are using WinXP Service pack 2 and windows 2000 servers and our in a domain environment. How should I go about preventing workers from logging into the other wireless network?

LLXX Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Use WEP on them... and disclose only the key of the AP that you want them to connect to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Or you can use MAC filtering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cconk01 Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) No, the thing isnt about them connecting to the right AP or not. The problem is, they are to lazy to connect to our companys AP, so the connect to another office's AP, thus they dont get GP updates, cant access network shares and what not.

net_user Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 i think what cconk01 is gettin at is he wants to lockdown his puters where users can not connect to another wifi ap....sounds like there are other ap's close to his work enviroment and users are connecting to those instead of the "correct" ap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
