Last night I disabled the WEP, the first suggestion I received and the wireless network ran perfectly all night. However I understand it's not so good running without any encryption. How's everyone else doing it? I did the following last night which seemed to work. Install racoon on my firewall and laptop. run this with setkey -f on the laptop. spdadd 192.168.14.2/32 0.0.0.0/0 any -P out ipsec esp/tunnel/192.168.14.2-192.168.14.1/require; spdadd 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.14.2/32 any -P in ipsec esp/tunnel/192.168.14.1-192.168.14.2/require; Then the same thing on the firewall with out/in switched around. Startup racoon and I was away. A tcpdump on wi0 showed only ESP packets being transmitted. So is this all I need to do to secure my wireless link?? cheers, ajt.
