  1. Re:Its the tower and antenna alignment on Wireless Computing and Airplanes? · · Score: 1

    You already have a hard time getting transmissions from 3500 feet in the air. These Towers transmitt to Routers on the ground. They must then negociate your ip Address accross long distances. That is hard to do when you are moving 300+ miles an hour. This means drop and renew your address everytime you hit a tower and different router or have the towers do some kind of negociation to a centeral router. It becomes alot more expensive to own a wireless service that can keep up. http://www.google.com/search?q=Wireless+moving+pro blems&btnG=Google+Search&hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859 -1

    How Do They Spoof You Ask?

    They must crash your compuer, regenerate your MAC

    address using a program & change to match your IP.

    You may decide to use WEP Encryption afterall.
    I heard you groan, WEP Encryption but that slows me
    down! It is a question of How important is your
    security to you V.S. Speed?

    If the hacker dosen't know what that all important WEP
    password. Keep the ball in your court and over secure your network.
    It's a good idea if you dont know alot about security to
    not put anything on a computer you wouldn't want me,
    next door neighboor, anybody to hack your ass.
