(IMG:style_emoticons/default/hijacked.gif) I use my laptop for work and sometimes at home, when some else is using my pc... now the laptop looks for the strongest signal and goes to it, which was my neighbors router until I bought my own, I leave my pc on 24-7-365 so obviously the router is on too what real risk am I exposing my pc to? How can somebody get into my computer? What limitations would "securing" my router do to my laptop when I'm at home? Secondly, when I'm out and need to access the Internet, I hope I can get onto someones router, it is so much fast than the WIFI dial up. |

I can, with my linux box, hack your WEP encrypted connection in a matter of hours.
I dont care though and am too lazy to do that. I suggest using WPA if you can, as for my home network (20 ports all used) I just used 64-bit WEP b/c thats all I can use on my older mac hardware |

its IN the router...
most new cards support WPA. Windows XP does support WPA. Wireless Protected something I think it stands for. I think you'd be safe if you used 64-bit WEP tho. to config your router: open up a browser, go to: http://192.168.1.1 for LINKSYS routers http://192.168.0.1 for D-LINK routers http://192.168.0.254 for DSL modem/routers there are many more, i have worked with these though. |

Sorry for the hijack...Britt, is the default user name and password "admin" for the D-Link routers? I don't think I changed anything but can't get in any longer. Kevin |

I've bought three D=Link routers and hated them, they overheated (small chip got REALLY hot) had to buy a 80486 cooling fan to pull the heat off of the chip, but then it just started dying. Good luck with yours, i'll help you if I can. pm me if you need more help. Hijack over |
