Hi George - I thought we'd agreed that wep was sufficient, but now you say
that WPA is a necessary security? Confused again <smile> -

| Hi Andy,
|
| WPA is a necessary security. After all, you don't want any
| Tom, Dick or Harry using your wireless system to access the
| internet, do you? (And perhaps even hacking your own
| system.)

| Hi George -

|| Hi Andy,
||
|| When you have wireless, the SSID can as you have found
| out,
|| be either shown or hidden. There's nothing sinister in
| it,
|| just that for example, a hotel might have wireless access
|| for its guests, and one for it's own use. Therefore they
|| don't want to publicise their private one.
||
|| Either which way, if access requires a WEP, hopefully only
|| those with the key can gain access.
||
|| George.
