Depending on what type of wireless router you bought there may be more or less security options you accessible to. The best wireless router I found was by Linksys and Belkin. They are the top brands with the latest security features. Below I will list some basic features that will hopefully fit all kinds of wireless routers, but most of the solutions would apply to 802.11b type routers. Enjoy Helpful Tips on Securing Your Wireless LAN Router 1 ~ Using TCP/IP for File and Printer sharing! It is really simple DON"T USE IT because there are access points that are automatically installed on your LAN. If anyone gets that access point they will be part of your LAN network. Since they are accessing your network by TCP/IP to connect to your computer you can deny their access to your Microsoft File and Printer Sharing by using another protocol other than the TCP/IP. The only problem is that they will still be able to use your router as an internet connection but will not be able to have access to your files. 2 ~ Proper secure file-sharing procedures! Share only what you need to share. Keep in mind folders and not whole hard drives. Password protect anything that your are sending. The best passwords are ones will letters and numbers mixed. 3 ~ WEP Encryption! Simply ENABLE it and use a non-obvious encryption key. I recommend looking for and use products that support 128bit WEP for a better encryption on your wireless router. 4 ~ Use WEP Use WEP for data and authentication. Some wireless router gives you two options 'Shared Key' and 'Open System'. You should use Shared Key because it is used to both encrypt its data and to authenticate your client. 5 ~ Use non-obvious WEP keys! You should always use hard passwords and access keys. You shouldn't keep your keys and passwords the same for a year so you need to periodically change them over and over. I would suggest that you change them every month. 6 ~ Secure your Access Point! Your Access Point should make you have a password to access its Admin features. If it doesn't, you need to get one that will! Also, you need to change your default password and use a solid one. 9 ~ Don't send the ESSID and don't accept any ESSID! Orinoco and Apple have called the ability to stop their products from sending out or accepting any of the networks ESSID which is the "closed network" feature. Other manufactures are doing the same thing so make sure your routers has its latest updates and firmware upgrades. 10 ~ Use MAC address based Access and Association control There are many routers and Access Points being upgraded to have the new features to control the clients that can access them. MAC addresses are famous to be tied to physical network adapters which mean that this method would require no that much coordination and maybe inconvenience for LAN users. If you already have a product that doesn't include this feature, check your Manufacturer's Web site for a firmware upgrade.

Why so much arguing? JKAMD is best for the latest gaming pcs but intel is the has to be the best for running multiple programs and for office use. The thing that hurt the AMD is the pricing. The problems in this area can normally be resolved at the cost of a price premiumThe AMD is a little more high priced than the pentium 4. As time moves on, advances in technology will bring both of the price down, so the price/performance trade-off will be less of an issue. It’s been a really painful time for RDRAM so far; the introduction of such a high-priced RAM has hurt Intel.

I have made some of these mistakes myself so I want to pass on what is have learned to help others create easy website for the viewers. These are not in any order. This is my first tutorial so feel free to add comments. TY, Enjoy 1) URL/E-mail Names This goes on the theme of trust really. Many small business like to set shops up on service providers like Xisto, geocites,yahoo. Those sites will usually supply you with a subdomain name like yoursite.serviceprovider.com. Instead of having a service provided name you should have a regular domain name like yoursite.com. I know I would rather buy or visit someones site that has a regular domain name than a subdomain name of a company. 2) Slow Site Pages No one like to wait all day waiting for thier favorite site to load. I your site take more than 20 seconds to load over a 28.8K modem, you run the risk of losing visitors. The easiest way to make your site faster is by optimizing your pictures with programs like Photoshop. The size of individual graphics should be no more than 10K. 3) Banners Although banners can bring great loads of traffic to your site too many of them may be as hassle. It is ok to have one banner but if you have two or three your site will begin to look cheap and too busy. Just slow it down and organize your site. 4) Background Noise You may think adding things in the background to spruce up the design is good but that may not always be the truth. Many site have wild crazy distracting background designs. These are bad because it is interfering the message your site is trying to project to the viewer. It may also give them a headache. 5) Look The Same Make sure your site looks the same on Netscape as it does on Internet Explorer. Many other browers are very similar to these two. Mozilla is an exsample, it is like Netscape. Test yours on both before going public. 6) Easy Navigation Make your site easy to navigate. Some web site formats are far too confusing, have dead-end pages, and have sections that are like mazes. When isitors get lost they get mad and may cause a lost sales/traffic. Make sure that every page on your site is linked back to your homepage and contact information page. 7) Bad Searchs Engines The literal search engines reduce usability in that they're unable to handle typos, plurals, hyphens, and other variants of the query terms. New searches should be able to handle these problems becuase they are hard for the young and old. 8) Not Changing the Color of Visited Links Knowing where you have been on a website is alway good. No more back tracking. If you change the colors of the visited links from the unvisited links you can easily solve this problem. These benefits will help users to tell the difference between visited and unvisited links because the site shows them in different colors. 9) Opening New Browser Windows No one likes to play astroids while browsing on the internet. New windows that pop up out of the ordinary can become very annoying. Web developers open new windows on hopes that it keeps users on their site, but realistically the strategy is self-defeating. Don't pollute my screen with any more windows, thanks. 10) Not Answering Users' Questions Don't ignore your visitors. This will reduce the traffic to your site becuase of an unanswered question. The biggest problem is not listing a price or description of something. That will make your viewer go insane.
