Ah, but you should be running a secure tunnel. For home use WEP as well as =
a
tunnel isn't bad. For work it tempts management to claim WEP is secure, so
they can get rid of the secure tunnel the first time it isn't acting
properly ( regardless of the problem really being that the access point is
sitting on top of the microwave... ).
