RE:"wireless networks are more easily hacked" Absolutly correct. With teenagers living in the houses on either side and directly behind my home, I was anxious to enable WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), a security encryption feature of wireless routers. There is alot of FUD about wireless network security because of recently developed (and released) hacker software that can break into wireless networks. I was told recently, by IT department techies from a Fortune 100 national defense contracting company, that they consider WEP to be sufficient security for top management to use on their home wireless networks used to communicate with the corporate network. FYI. Have a great weekend. nnil
