Re: One more try !

Hey martin,

Although MAC address filtering will deter most non pc types, a quick
google seach can bring up many easy methods of spoofing mac addresses,
and cracking WEP. I have a mate that runs a business doing pc repairs
for the home market, and he's run into hacked wifi's many times.
Unfortunately WEP and MAC filtering just doesn't stop the script kiddies
today :\

Cheers

Marc
