Pre-wired Home with Cat5E

Why would you want to run wireless? I'm confused in that. If I had the option to run cat5 in my townhouse I would but I rent so I can't. Wireless is less secure people can sniff your traffic and it requires more equipment. You have to buy a wireless router and if you have a desktop you have to...

NAT-PT...why did they depricate it?

I've just seen hackers crack WPA with backtrack so I know it can be done. I would use WPA over WEP anyday but I use WPA2 at home and in the office.

Nope. You can store potential work but how can you store work. If I take a wheelbarrel and push it full of dirt thats work. Can I store that work? No.

I was using it to illustrate how many different technologies are insecure. Appaerently, no one got that :) WPA is insecure. In can be crack just as easily as WEP. Now if we are referring to WPA2 well.thats a different story

THANK YOU!!!! I guess I just wanted someone to agree with me :) People tend to use electricity in everyday conversation and they don't know what it is. Simply put it is work. What type of work? The movement of electrons. Be it chemical, nuclear, wind, solar, etc. You can store electrons...

Ok a powersupply is not a good example. A power supply converts AC into DC. I remember reading in a number of books that you can't store electrictiy. Now in the case of carpet you are picking up extra electrons and you have a charge. This is not electricity. A cloud?? I can't explain this...

So you have multiple problems. First, can your router pass traffic to anything from 192.168.x.x? If it can you are fine but I would make sure that someone didnt put an ACL for 192.168.1.x, 192.168.2.x, 192.168.4.x Some people may just add the entire block and some may not. 192.168.x.x...
