Dear David,
Thank you very much for a very fast response! Hope I could be of help to you
someday. Thanks.
Atleast now I know that it is really better to have a router then.
About the wireless, though i know the basics (installing and securing) I
admit i was never really yet convince on the security of wireless
connectivity. Thanks for the advice because currently we also have installed
2 wireless access point here in our company and i was also hoping i could
find something in this forum that could help us better secure our network.
Again Thanks.
Regards,
Mark Tisbe
