It depends on the device you choose for your access point. Some allow you to filter MACs, others may not. Sorry I can't help you choose - it seems to be hard to find real information before you buy. > (I know, this is not 100% secure, since even those could be faked, but > the average script kiddy may be block for a while.) As you say, MACs are supposedly prone to being spoofed. I only say "supposedly" because I haven't seen any reports of its happening. Much depends on what you perceive the threat to be: are you in a city with any number of unknown people passing by daily, or like me in a village where you know your neighbours? Of course, you'll also have an effective firewall on each machine that can be reached from the wireless network. -- Rgds Peter
