    Very helpful, thanks.

    I just want to be sure. I was able to do apply WPA – PSK. My question is my whenever I open my laptop, it automatically connects to the wireless network. Isn’t it that it should ask my network key first every time I open it? Or does my laptop remember the first time I entered my passphrase?

    Thanks. Hope you can answer me.

    The passphrase is remembered so you don’t have to worry about entering it each and every time.

    Thank you for replying. Now one more question if you don’t mind. There is no log out button in my router’s web page, 192.168.something. I just close the page, that’s it and I’m logged out?

    You can simply close the browser.

    thanks for the info on the D Link router, i am curious however as to teh pros/cons of using TKIP opposed to AES encyrption, also in my installation I have two wired PC (Cat5) and then a wireless link to a laptop, I also have a Cat 5 link running from the D-link to another wireless router to act as a “repeater” for being out in the garden (come summer) I am damned if I can get XP pro to let all computers have a file/printer share and shared drives, half the time I can’t get the PCs to see eachother, and even when they can I can’t access shared drives or print.
    Any suggests most appreciated.
