Hi,
I had a problem connecting to my wireless internet connection (on laptop) which is now working again but unlike before it works without the code being entered - does this mean anyone can access the connection?
I have turned on the XP firewall on the PC and laptop connections but am stil puzzled and worried.
Thanks

Set it up again using WPA-PSK as it is not secure and your connection is free to use by anyone.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0

It now prevents access if I remove the code so looks like the connection is secure again.Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!0
