Are You Receiving Me? : Comment 2 of 14 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Kjetil on 28-Nov-2002 17:27 GMT | You do not need PCI or USB to use wireless networks to day just go an get your self an Ethernet converter to wireless networks this can be connected to your switch or hub, or even directly to your computer.
This days every one is talking about how great 803.11b is how you can befit from it,
What they fail to talk about is security, if you do not configure your network properly with encryption, then your computer and Internet connection is open for otters to use, any one walking out side your house may read your personal files on your Amiga throw Samba if it is not configured properly configured, or any otter service hat may be in the risk of being hacked like FTP, HTTP, IRC and ICQ services. Reamer that they get on the inside of your firewall when you have an wireless network, if not configured with encryption. Max speed on wireless is about 22Mbs youre average PCI Ethernet card is 100Mbs, so if you do not need it way invest in it? |
