| Network (in)Security Interesting hacks and cracks. Info on firewalls, TCP/IP, encryption, networks, and security. The ins and outs of the phone system, caller services, how things work, what's illegal and what's not, cellular phones, beepers, telephony legislation, the PUC, ISDN, taps, who's listening, and switches. Talking about phones, hacking systems, technical advice, and such is completely LEGAL in the United States -- it's covered by the First Amendment. What's illegal is conspiracy to commit a crime. So if you say something like "Meet me at 2am so we can crack a can" or "I changed my cell phone's number myself" you are criminally liable. Stating "You can crack a can by doing thus-and-so" or "If you wanted to change a cell phone's number, you could do it like so" is perfectly OK. Posting passwords, calling card numbers, or credit card numbers is forbidden on this network. Posting such info will get you booted off the net. |

 Internal offline WLAN
I noticed that I can connect to my wireless network even if the router isn't connected to the internet. Does this mean I can get a secondary router which I won't connect to the internet and set up a wireless network for file sharing with that offline router? Would that work or would the router have to be connected to the web to allow traffic between my comps?

Re: Internal offline WLAN
Nope, not being on the internet would just mean you can't share with the internet. You could easily share stuff between whatever computers were hooked up to the network.

Re: Internal offline WLAN
If you just wanted a way for wireless comps to share files, you would make an ad-hoc network (similar to connecting 2 comps witha crossover cable) but if you had wired and wireless you could jest get an acess point, I belive linksys makes one that looks just liek the router except no WAN port. So like it has a 4 port switch on the back to wire your comps in and also provides wireless acess.

Linksys WAP's typically just have one port on the back. |
