however, the authentication's process is much better with XP SP 2 you can save the settings and have it detect when the network is in range, then it will join with the settings you provided.
just remember, i can sit next door to you, sniff all your wireless traffic with out you knowing. i can also arp poison you and sniff the wired as long as the internal traffic does not exceed 54 mb/s, if it does, then you will notice the dropped packets.
WPA is hard to break as long as you have a long pass phrase, its not really worth the time to crack, WEP is easy, either way, but it is still harder then an open access point. furthermore, some people have standards and will not enter a locked network, but have no issues with entering an unlocked one.

I'm not referring to LEAVING the house, I'm referring to being IN the house having to carry your keys for everything you do inside your house. I don't like feeling like a prisoner in my own home, doublekeyed deadbolt and in order ot make sure that if there was an exit in a fire, I carried my keys in my pockets ALL the time.
my point is that there is a point where I'm not going to worry about getting run over when walking down the street. I don't buy into the fear mongers. I just don't. Obviously if I had to worry about it from the 5 neighbors that are directly next to my apartment, only 1 can see my network because of the concrete walls.
i thought i had all the authenication problems post SP2, one day I'll doublecheck.
