Sorry I couldn't respond earlier, had to leave early for a vet appointment
(for Cody) then had to shop for my mother.  What type of wireless are you
using, I have Linksys...few years old now but I didn't have a wizard and it
took me a few hours but it is locked down solid.  My network has never been
accessed.  I'll look for the link that took me through the process and if
you have another brand I'll check that out too.  Problem with a lot of
wireless is they work right out of the box and you don't know you're wide
open.  If I take my laptop to my mother's house I usually can get 3-4 open
internet connections.
 
BTW, tomorrow is our 37th anniversary and I found the wine we served at the
wedding, however, it was a bit more costly than the $5.50 we paid for a
bottle years ago.
Ed

Uh... <blush>

I don't even know what you're talking about. :)

When I installed the wireless, the software ran a wizard, I made choices. :)
