Hello,

I'm rebuilding our home network Desktop is wired to Linksys router,
laptop is connected wirelessly. Both are XP Pro SP2 machines.

I thought I read somewhere that in setting up a home network, all
computers are supposed to be configured with the same security level.

What "security" are you referring to? Wireless security? Windows XP
(firewall) security?

How do I find the highest security level available on each computer?

Thank you,
Cheryl
