I was curious when I saw you mention this. I'm thinking that to limit
access  to one's WAP you would limit usage to certain MAC addresses of
those machines  you would allow, rejecting any others. Is this not correct?
The reason I ask  is that is exactly what I am planning to do, allow only
one MAC address, the  one to my Thinkpad.

Also, I confirmed yesterday with my WAP manufacturer's technical
representative (2Wire) that there 1000SW model does allow configuration for
 cloaking of the SSID that is transmitted so no one else can find it. Would
you  (or others) speak to this?

Thanks!
