Cisco Aironet1200 - Novice Question

[Nikster]

This question might sound stupid but here goes...I have a 1220B that I want to use as an AP for my laptop, but at the same time I don't want anyone walking down to street to be able to use my DSL connection.

Thanks a ton,

not sure where the question is....but if you set it up correctly, there shouldnt be a probelm. one simple way is to use MAC address authentication, of course they can be spoofed.

here is a white paper on wireless security

Thanks fr the link, it helped clear up some basic concepts.

My intended question was, How can I stop somone who is not on my Allowed MAC address list from getting an IP through DHCP.

Currently, anyone who associates with my AP gets an IP address through the DHCP server (I'm on DSL from Verizon). I haven't been able to figure out how to implement MAC address filtering.
