Just installed wireless at home from comcast cable. Any suggestions for added
security? like something that can monitor activity on the connection,
in/outbound traffic, more protection from intruders .... etc?

I got XP home, mcafee firewall, Intel wireless a/b/g, linksys router and
comcast high speed.

thank you.

Hi
May be this can Help.
Wireless Security - http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Security.html
Wireless Segregation - http://www.ezlan.net/shield.html
Using WPA - AES would be adequate for strong security.
If you want detection look it this,

Hi -- I also have XP Home and just installed Linksys. Now the only way to get
from one "desktop" (either mine ormy 2 kids) is to log one of us off and then
log in to another. It's a hassle (can't stay logged on for AIM, etc). Any
solutions?

Thanks in advance.
