wireless security on notebooks

Dear people, My question is regarding wireless security, on win xp. I have a home network, with a wireless access point and two notebooks (and one desktop connected via cable). When I'm at home, I want to use the access point's firewall, and leave all the other things unsecured, like the file sharing turned on on the notebooks (I'm using WEP). When my wife goes out with hers computer, I have to rely the security on hers memory to turn on the firewall. What I want is to install a virtual wireless network adapter, and to use one wireless adapter with my home's wifi network and another with the others. Then, leave the firewall always on (I use sygate) and make it work only for the foreign networks. I didn't found such virtual network adapters. I have the one that comes with VMWare, but it doesn't have the "wireless networks" tab. This kind of solution is a 5 minutes work on Linux, it can be done by configuring a single text file, but for windows, I'm getting mad. I don't want to fill my computer of antivirus, anti spyware, and Norton rubbish, I prefer a simple configuration like this. Please, if you have some ideas about this, share it with me, or perhaps to tell me that I'm missing something that makes this situation nonviable. Best regards, Andres H Argentina _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
