In reply to Comment 10 (Ian):
> Biggest problem with wireless lans is the almost total lack of security, even > the existing encryption techniques have already and easily been cracked.
True, if you are thinking of going for a wireless system go for components that allow you to use an encryption method with a user key. This key is then set for each wireless interface and it will only except data using this key. (The WET11 devices for example can except 64 or 128 bit WEP encryption keys)
Changing the key from time to time will also provide better long term security... ....and if your neighbours (or that strange looking geezer (guy) in your back garden with a laptop) do hack into your network, a good wireless system with a proper firewall will aid detection and protection.
Have a look around on the web for the best ways to protect machines on wireless networks.
