In my opinion there is no such thing as a secure wireless network..... What you might want to do is set up not only a vpn, but a network proxy with user authentication. Also block all ports in your router make sure that you are using a secure proxy and only allow that one ip and one mac address threw it. Now this brings along another problem have you checked your network to make sure no machines are vulnerable to any exploits.... If so that could make it so he could easily gain access. Programs You should try 1) Squid 2) Openvpn On 12/8/06, Kelly Martin <kel () securityfocus com> wrote:

Static IPs vs. DHCP is getting off-topic. However for those who are interested, there was a very long discussion about this very subject earlier this year.
