hi. my connection to my pc is unsecured. how can i secure it / encrypt it? i have a Dell 1350 wireless and a Linksys befw11s router. thanks.
 
not sure exactly what you mean. have you set the ssid to something other than the default?
 
i got it. i had accessed the router setup and enabled the WEP option. thanks.
 
In addition to enabling WEP you should also:

(1) Change the SSID and disable its broadcast
(2) Disable DHCP on the wireless router
(3) Implement an access-list, probably by allowing only your MAC address
(4) Make sure SNMP is disabled on the router

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
