techie tsikoteers, need your help- setting up a wireless home network

[ghosthunter]

MAC address is the machine name of the network card for a laptop or computer. this is usually suffice to block-out unauthorized access to your network. if you use this type of security, others might actually see your network but they cannot access it.

for the WEP, unless otherwise a correct password is supplied unauthorized users cannot access your network.

actually even with WEP based security, other people can still see your wifi access point and associated data of that access point. At least that is what information I can scan using my nokia N80's wifi network scanner.

people, eto ang di ko maintindihan e. tina-try ko i-enable yung WEP pero nagloloko yung connection ko pag may WEP. what am i doing wrong?

one of the reasons why I prefer NOT to use WEP security. With MAC filtering, its much simpler.

Usually I initially try connecting without any security then setup WEP or MAC filtering. Sometimes its as simple as wrong digit in the alphanumeric code used in the WEP.
