Thanks for your response. I guess turning WEP back on is an option.

I turned if off simply to see if my WIFI connections would be more
reliable. I have 4 computers running on my home network and sometimes
one will just disconnect and it takes me hours to get it back online.
(the IP address will show up as 0.0.0.0 and when I use the repair
connection option, it will disconnect and then reconnect and keep
"acquiring new IP address" for ever.) I had seen a posting by someone
with a similar problem who said that he had the same problem until he
turned off his WEP. I thought I'd give it a shot.

I hadn't thought of the possibility of others monitoring my connection.
 I guess that could be dangerous if they can see me access my banking
info etc.
Thanks,
Ken
