Hi I got 2 problems Please help me out... I have a network consisting of just 4 computers all working with wireless lan cards. 2 of them have Wireless lan from TwinMOS and 2 have from CNet. Also I am using the CNet Access Point. Right now the problem is that in this building anybody who have wireless lan can easilly access my network. There is no protection for the un-invited ones. So what is the easiest way to block them from entering my network as because of them I have unshared everything other then internet connection. My second problem is that I want to download email in outlook express at one PC and I want to access it from anywhere at the others, all have Windows XP installed. Please help me with these problems I will be so Thankfull
