Re: [FW-1] Checkpoint and wireless networks
Except that the GX product is for GSM mobile phone networks and not for
802.11 wireless LAN networks.

I've nothing to add to this particular discussion, but as an fyi to all --
Checkpoint has a product out for wireless network protection. I believe
it's a fairly recent prduct.

>>But, but, but... Wireless is a HUGE security hole,
even with WEP turned on, since anyone within a quarter
mile can infiltrate your network.
I know, I know...it wasn't my idea...mgmt. wanted it (and it's not a
quarter
mile...more like 100 ft.) That's one reason I chose the router over the
access point, hoping to control what is allowed across it. I'm also using
the access filters to only allow particular MAC addressed cards to access
the wireless network. Also, it is only live when visitors are here (1-3
users, 2-3 days a week).
