Well, that doesn't really answer his question. ALl you did is open up a new can of worms. The 802.11x can be secured as I have sent John an email explaining how to do it. Yes, VPN is an additional component to the secure transmittion of his data across the network. Not to flame you Mark but I think some of us more experienced owe it to the newbies to give a bit more direction to their needs. There are also many web sites available giving examples on how this can be done. One of my favorites is http://www.practicallynetworked.com/support/wireless_secure.htm Hope this helps as well. > Mark Koskenmaki wrote: > > I would like to secure (that is, keep people from getting access through or > > past) my wireless network.
