thorne Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 if its linksys you goto you gateway addy (* find this by going to start run cmd type ipconfig) it will say 192.168.0.1 then you goto http://192.168.0.1/ login admin/admin setup wep / set a key it should be the button on the left setup your key and write it down ebca this is the key you will use with windows.

thorne Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Follow up new law in USA says if someone uses your connection to break the law you held liable if you did not enable proper protection WEP or WPA btw wep is just a way to keep someone out if they dont want in .. WEP can be broken with tools in about 5 minutes. WPA is the way to go . and MAC filtering does 0 I can sniff a network and use ur mac address once i know it and be in with ease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
