timescale to crack depends on complexity of key, and volume of interceptible traffic WEP on and WEP off has nothing to do with sharing internet connections, its just protecting the traffic between devices. Turning off guest account, installing firewall, usernames/passwords and shares security will not make your data safe when you transfer it over a non encrypted connection, unless the data itself is encrypted first. You are only protecting your pc from direct attack. But as previosuly said, other than protection of transmitted data, the purpose of securing your wireless connection is so that you can control who is actually using that connection. its a bit like having a car and leaving the keys in it when your are not using it, so that anyone can borrow it when they need it. when (or if) they bring it back (undamaged?), how long before you get camera NIPS in the post, and how do you prove you were not driving ?

i remember that feeling too if i were you, i would stay away from any decent stretches of road for a while, and stick to congested back streets so you dont miss it so badly.... 3 years on and i still wonder sometimes if i made the right decision..

need to make sure they are set for "ad-hoc" mode in the wireless properties.

ah yes, while we were waiting for some "other issues" to be resolved.... b19rks, yes there is life after the forum, but its damn slow.... ;) selling my zed was the best and worst thing i ever did, and still regret making the right decision at the time !!

it started life on a dell 486 with 16mb, then moved onto a p166 with 128mb... moved onto decent hardware when it moved colo from my ex-employer to mike, after starting subscriptions/contributions to fund the upgrade never was a fan of being at the mercy of the other tenants on a server.... but things have changed nowadays

have been down the same road, heres what you need to do... go into the control panel, admin tools, services go down to Wireless Zero Configuration and stop the service, then disable it. now go to the software utility that runs the card and make the network connection again that way instead of using the windows settings.

been here since the ark and never had a keyring.... ;)

as with all kit cars, you only get out what you put in. So if someone has put the time, money and effort into making it a nice car then they have sourced the right donor, paid attention to detail on the interior, and found a decent bodywork/sprayer. I was given a ride in the original prototype of this car when it was first finished and when there were only a couple of the kits sold and being built. The quality of finish and detailing was excellent compared to what you would normally expect from a kit car. The handling was very well sorted and more than capable to make the car act like it is designed to look. The original car had a JagV12 engine, and in any car which is less than half the weight of jag, you will soon know if the chassis and suspension is suspect. To be honest, i was impressed. But, the point is, 14k for a kit car is relative to the quality of the build. I would have NO HESITATION in paying 35K for a kit car, such as an ULTIMA !! and i'm sure some of you would do the same... But as most of you will know by now, the money you put into your car is not always guaranteed to be retrievable again, but quality will always make the loss a little easier to bear

congratulations and best wishes to you and Lisa

they look like KYB AGX adjustable shocks to me.

congrats to you both nice one

ah, those were the days.... beer, burgers, and a road full of zeds!! i do look in 2 or 3 times a week, and even post occasionally.... been zedless 2 years now, and still miss it, but have priorities. not seen or heard from Nico for a while as i only live half hour away from the next JAE, i have no excuse this year for not going.... so i hope to catch up with lots of you this year! 2004 my excuse was moving house... 2003 my excuse was moving house and new son Ayrton being born 2002 JAE was my stag do!!

this stuff is easily findable, easily installable, and should spur you on to make yourselves secure :-D a very good article on wep and wpa differences and vulnerabilities http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=369221 two programs for breaking wep http://airsnort.sourceforge.net/ http://wepcrack.sourceforge.net/ information on breaking wpa http://wifinetnews.com/archives/004428.html info on interim ways to secure yourself http://wifinetnews.com/archives/001034.html

timmy, timmy, timmy, where do i start ;) how you doing ? are you at jae this year ? as it is only 20 odd miles away from me this year, i will try to get there. would be nice to actually meet after all this time.. !!!

too bad for words... anyone feel inspired?

hi Dave, hows it going ?

have been dropping by more and more regularly now... things are less hectic, so will ease myself back into the forum gradually... anyone want to donate a zed to a good cause ;-)

I clashed with him at JAE2003, something to do with him revving his car while i was standing behind, and spraying my trousers with petrol... imho, he's an a$$hole as a person, but credit due for his car passion

sorry to hear :-( our condolences.

I always use hijackthis to remove really stubborn ones. Its not so "user" friendly, but does show you everything so you can decide if things are legit.
