This is an offshoot from another thread I created recently and the topic led to (among other things) wireless security. I recently bought an HP ZD8225 laptop and a DataLink DI524 wireless router. New stuff to me, although I have a fair bit of experience in IT generally.
So far, I've been focussing on getting the wireless network set up and updated, with good security. Currently I'm using 128 bit WEP (I haven't been able to get WPA working yet, although my DataLink DI524 router apparently supports WPA. It doesn't seem to like the key I provided.) I may have some specific questions on WPA next weekend when I take another stab at it. I also set up MAC filters to only allow my laptop and desktop MAC addresses to be able to use the network.
Am I missing any good tricks to improve security?
Thanks,
John B.
