SMC 7004VWBR I've searched the config menus over-and-over again... I was surprised too! Another annoying thing: it doesn't allow you to establish constant MAC->IP mappings. I'm tempted to go buy a different one... What models have you used? > Not that mac addresses stop anyone but casual freeloaders. That's all I really care about. Sounds like even encryption wouldn't keep out a knowledgable person who really wanted to hack my (relatively pitiful) network. And if I can stop casual freeloaders, I can at least identify the malicious freeloaders :) Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
