"HI. You might want to enable some security on your wireless network"

And to the point about wireless networks, security, wep, etc - It is totally unsecure and easily broken into. With the tools today all you do is push a button - got mac, got key, have fun!

Cisco offers some protection with rotating keys.

The urge to spend extra money for insecure wireless ownz j00.

Just put LAN drops in a few rooms in your house and you're that much safer (and cheaper).

What, Monkey?

You thought I was just some yahoo that hung out in the networking forum. 🙂 Still haven't rescheduled my lab, my butt is still burning from the previous one.

Sample lab scenario - Setup gre tunnel, run IPX accross it and EIGRP with multicast routing enabled. You are not allowed to use IPX commands, bridging or multicast forwarding AND your EIGRP default route must be reinjected into RIP without using a default network command or static routes. You have 15 minutes.

boy, that's funny, expecting BB to tell him this stuff, LOL.
I also found that comment funny. Best Buy shouldn't be expected to notify any purchaser about potential security issues. However, it is up to the purchaser to read the materials that were provided with the device before placing it into service.
 
i found one and since it is faster than mine....well you guys know the rest.........
