RUNNING A FIREWALL/ROUTER.... I am using a Linksys WRT54G
wireless/router and it works great. To control it, I connect to it as if it were
a web page. If you are running a Linksys router click on http://192.168.1.1
or type it into the address window on your browser and connect to your router.
If you didn't give it a name, then leave the name blank and if you didn't give
it a password, use admin (all lower case) for a
password. I have setup the security to block probes as shown. I ran BlackIce for
a week after I had the Linksys running and nothing got past the Linksys for
BlackIce to block.

DISABLE SSID BROADCAST.... I am running Wireless to my other computers. I
disable the Wireless SSID Broadcast to make unauthorized use much more difficult
and someone in the area will not know the name of my wireless router. With the
SSID Broadcast enabled, anyone in the area could connect through my wireless and
were doing so. Once I changed the name and stopped the broadcast, the
unauthorized usage stopped. I do have to enable Wireless SSID Broadcast when I
connect a new computer to the wireless network, but once connected, I then turn
off the broadcast.
