I don't know why. My computer was a 1997 and rebuilt in 2003 ![]() world man....- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Hey, gimmee a break, Scott. With exception of gawking around the internet, writing some stuff on MS Word, and blabbing here on Wreck.Bildge... what more have I needed? my lands, until yesterday, I didn't know how to send a pic though an email until a friend told me how to put it in file form, and I may have forgotten that by now. I admit, I could be electic, but I'm not much of a progressive thinker. ------------------------ Don't feel pregnant. For an electrical engineer who made his living in a technical world I know almost nothing about computers. I was all proud of myself yesterday though. My son's beachhouse (where I really enjoy hanging out once in a while) has Comcast cable and a cable modem, but it was all hardwired. I bought a wireless router a few weeks ago, took it down to the house and there it sat, box unopened. Seems like everytime I try doing something with a computer I screw it up. My other son (Eisboch Jr.) is a whiz at installing this kind of stuff, so I figured I'd wait until he came down to help. Well, he hadn't shown up yet, so I got my courage up, opened the box, read the directions and attempted it myself. HOLY CRAP! it works! Even installed the secured network duber. Made my day. Eisboch- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Now you just need to make sure you set up all of the security settngs.. First thing is to make sure it is not broadcasting a network id... Shut down unused ports is second on the list. Of course so folks don't really care especially if they are not doing anything critical on the network. My nieghbor has a open connection I use when we shut down our network for electrical strorms and such. I use it mainly to watch the radar, they know of course, but don't really care.. ----------------------------- What do mean "broadcasting a network ID"? I set it up as a secured network. If you search for available wireless networks, it shows up with the name I gave it (Beachhouse) and "Security-enabled wireless network". In order to log on, a predetermined "key" has to be entered. So, is that secure? I would think that unless somebody figured out the key, they shouldn't be able to log on. I also have file sharing, etc. disabled on our computers. That's about all I know about this. Actually, I really don't care anyway, other than somebody getting a free ride to the Internet. There's nothing on my computer worth anything to anybody. Eisboch |
