Yes, this is probably not a bad idea, but the reason I have steered away from setting it up like that is that it would make it just a bit harder for people to bring a laptop into my house and connect to it, without the encryption it seems easier. I guess my neighbor could connect to it if he likes, if he could get a signal from his house next door (I don't have decent signal in my entire house as it is). Thanks for the help again, I will look at enabling encryption. -- Alan DuBoff Software Orchestration, Inc.
