[QUOTE="Larry H, post: 1044705, member: 132591"] chas_m, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am a switcher, but not too parnoid! LOL Thanks for the info that outsiders cannot get to my Mac's file system. My Mac's internet connection is thru a Sprint broadband card connecting to the cell phone 3G system. I do not have a wireless modem. I am using the Airport to connect to two PC computers in my house and I have 'internet sharing' on. File sharing is not on. I have two concerns. One is that I don't want freeloaders using my internet connection, as it slows my computers down and uses up my monthly allowance of data moved on my connection. Two, I want to protect my vulnerable PCs from harm. The PC's do have firewalls, AV protection and so forth. And I just don't want unknown others on my network. I think what you said in the above quote is my situation. ( Not the CIA part, but I do live in the USA, so who knows! LOL) So, my question is this: How do I turn on or set encryption on the Airport wifi? Thanks, Larry H PS: Love visiting Victoria by boat! [/QUOTE]
