I know this is pretty late in coming. I am kinda new to Dynamic routing, having learned more Static related things from a bit of Cisco training. In any case, are there any Programs anyone would reccomend for monitoring a dynamic home network, with wireless support?
MAC filetering is great, but I can spoof my MAC address.Quote:

thanks for all you help.....
WEP keys are nothing but a speed bump to someone determined.
Off to a good start but not quite there....As was already mentioned, turn off SSID broadcasting. Also if you are able to with your hardware, ditch the WEP and switch to WPA. Plenty of articles out there about the advantages to doing so.
With MAC filtering, WPA, and SSID broadcasting off, you are going to discourage the casual attackers out there.
